Product Information
The George Washington Legacy Coin Collection honors our nation’s first President with six U.S. coins that bear his likeness. Washington was first featured on a circulating coin to celebrate the 200th anniversary of his birth with the introduction of the Washington quarter in 1932. Still in production today, the Washington Quarter has undergone several design and composition modifications but continues to be one of the most widely collected coins in U.S. history. The 250th anniversary of Washington’s birth was later celebrated with a special silver commemorative half dollar issued in 1982. More recently, the 2007 George Washington Dollar marked the first coin issued as part of the U.S. Presidential Dollar series. This unique 6-coin set features the 1982 special edition Washington silver half dollar, a 2007 Washington presidential dollar, and 4 different Washington quarters, including the original silver (1932-1964) and copper-nickel (1965-1998) compositions with the eagle reverse, one Statehood quarter (1999-2009), and one America The Beautiful quarter (2010 to present). Each individual coin is housed in an airtight capsule and the set is presented in a luxurious, plush-lined wood box with embossed metallic gold lettering, piano-black finish, and certificate of authenticity. The coins are unconditionally guaranteed to be genuine and will match the exceptional mint-state quality of the ones shown. If you are interested in building a collection, consider adding other great selections from the American Classics Series to compliment your purchase.
