The 1973-D Washington Quarter is a classic modern-era U.S. coin struck at the Denver Mint during the copper-nickel clad period. Featuring the enduring portrait of George Washington, this coin continues one of the longest-running and most collected series in American coinage.
Graded AU58 by PCGS, this coin sits just below Mint State, showing only the slightest trace of wear while retaining nearly full original mint luster. Coins at this level often have the eye appeal of uncirculated examples, making them a popular choice among collectors seeking quality without the higher price of Mint State grades.
While 1973-D quarters were widely produced, high-end About Uncirculated examples like this are less commonly preserved in certified holders, adding to their collector appeal. This piece offers a strong combination of condition, affordability, and historical continuity.
