Additional Description: Two Whitman folders containing Washington quarters from 1932 to 1959 offer a layered glimpse into the early decades of a coin series steeped in tradition and national pride. Introduced in 1932 to mark George Washington’s bicentennial, the design by John Flanagan presents a dignified, classical portrait of the first president, paired with a heraldic eagle on the reverse, a design that would remain largely unchanged for decades. Struck in 90% silver, these quarters circulated through the Great Depression, World War II, and the postwar boom, reflecting both economic challenges and growth.
