1952 Washington Quarter 25C – NGC PR66 | Gem Proof Silver Quarter

This 1952 Washington Quarter is a stunning Gem Proof example certified PR66 by Numismatic Guaranty Company. Struck with specially prepared dies and polished planchets, this proof silver quarter showcases exceptional detail, reflective surfaces, and superior eye appeal that distinguish it from standard circulation strikes.

Part of the classic Washington Quarter, the coin was designed by John Flanagan and issued during the golden era of United States silver coinage. The obverse features the iconic portrait of President George Washington, while the reverse displays the traditional heraldic eagle design used on quarters before the transition away from silver in 1965.

Proof coinage from the early 1950s remains highly desirable among collectors due to lower mintages and the challenge of preserving these coins in premium condition. Graded PR66 by NGC, this example exhibits strong mirrored fields, sharp strike characteristics, and excellent overall preservation with attractive original surfaces.

Containing 90% silver, this coin combines precious metal value, historical importance, and collectible rarity in one exceptional piece. High-grade proof Washington Quarters continue to be sought after by both type collectors and advanced series specialists.
