$1 FV 90% Silver Washington Quarters – BU: product overview
Washington’s bicentennial portrait
The Washington quarter began in 1932 for the 200th anniversary of George Washington’s birth, using John Flanagan’s design. The portrait outlasted the original silver composition: circulating quarters switched to clad metal in 1965. This silver listing belongs to the earlier metal standard, not every coin bearing Washington’s likeness.

Frequently asked questions
Are all Washington quarters silver?
No. Washington’s portrait continued after the 1965 change to clad circulating quarters. Use this listing’s stated 90% silver composition and date range when comparing products.
Does $1 FV mean one coin or one ounce?
FV means combined face value. A $1 FV lot represents one dollar in the stated coin denominations, not one troy ounce and not necessarily one coin. Silver content depends on the coin type and wear.
Does BU mean a guaranteed MS70 coin?
No. Brilliant Uncirculated is a condition description, not a promise of MS70 certification. Surface marks and other differences can exist among uncirculated examples.
What should I record after buying this item?
Keep the invoice with the product name, quantity and any visible certification or serial number. These details help distinguish this offer from other dates, grades or packaging variants.
