Circulating Washington quarter initially contains 6.25 grams of 90% silver until 1964.From 1965 Copper-Nickle Clad was used for circulating coin up till now. Non-circulating version of the quarter containing silver have also been produced for collectors since 1976.Background: The U.S. Mint first issued the George Washington Quarter in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Washington’s birth on February 22, 1732. The George Washington Quarter replaced the Standing Liberty Quarter, the last circulating quarter to depict a figure of Liberty on the obverse. The Mint produced the quarter through 1998 until it was replaced by the "50 State Quarter Program" in 1999.The quarter reverse featured an eagle with wings spread except in the years 1975 and 1976. In those years, the reverse was temporarily replaced with a Colonial Drummer to honor the bicentennial of the Declaration of Independence.The new silver quarters entered circulation on August 1, 1932, and continued to be struck in silver until the Mint transitioned to copper-nickel clad coinage in 1965.The original Washington quarter design struck until 1998 depicted a head of George Washington facing left, with "Liberty" above the head, the date below, and "In God We Trust" in the left field. The reverse depicted an eagle with wings outspread perches on a bundle of arrows framed below by two olive branches.It initially contained 6.25 grams of 90% silver until 1964 when it switched to a base-metal composition of cupronickel (75% copper, 25% nickel) clad to a pure copper core. Non-circulating versions of the quarter containing silver have also been produced for collectors since 1976. The early mint marks on Washington quarters indicate the following mints: D – Denver Mint S – San Francisco Mint P –Philadelphia Mint (no mint mark indicates Philadelphia) So if there is no mint mark, it was made at the Philadelphia Mint.The Philadelphia mints mint mark "P" was used on coins struck at that facility beginning in 1980. Coins dated 1982 and 1983, both from Philadelphia. The obverse (heads)Design features a bust of George Washington.The reverse (tails)Features an eagle with wings spread, standing on a bundle of arrows with two olive sprays beneath it.
