This 1934 Washington Quarter, featuring the iconic eagle reverse design, is a noteworthy example from a year with a mintage of 6,956,000 coins, placing it among the more common dates in the series. However, its relative rarity is enhanced by the fact that many examples have succumbed to wear, making high-quality pieces like this one increasingly sought after by collectors. The coin was struck at the Philadelphia Mint, where the design by John Flanagan showcases the classic American eagle, symbolizing strength and freedom during the Great Depression era. In terms of technical quality, this Choice example exhibits strong luster and sharp details, with minimal contact marks that enhance its eye appeal. As collectors focus on higher-grade specimens for registry sets, this coin's preservation and striking quality make it a valuable addition for both type collectors and those completing their Washington Quarter series. The 1934 date holds significance not only for its design but also as a representation of the resilience of American coinage during challenging economic times.
