jpsned Pillar of the Community United States 2204 Posts	Posted 06/14/2026 1:18 pm Here is a quarter I picked up in change. I immediately noticed how well defined George Washington's hair is compared to any other Washington quarters I've ever seen. Is this just a very good strike or is it something else? I didn't find anything on the Internet about the mint re-doing the dies that year. Report this Post to the Staff
