The Certified Washington Quarter 1941 MS66 NGC has a mintage of 79 million and has been issued an impressive grade of MS66, which falls on the higher end of the BU grading scale. Since BU condition can vary greatly, collectors enjoy seeing the grade and taking comfort in the knowledge of what they own. The Certified Washington Quarter 1941 MS66 NGC comes encased in an official NGC holder for protection and authenticity. The Philadelphia Mint was the first mint in the US and therefore, didn’t place a mint-mark on the actual coin. George Washington’s portrait is featured on the obverse with the reverse design of the US National Seal. The US Mint produced the Washington Quarter to honor the first president’s bicentennial birth year, in 1932, and his portrait has stayed on the quarter ever since.
In 1789, Washington was elected the first president of the United States and held the office for 8 years. Washington made history and earned the respect worldwide when he decided to step down, instead of keep running for president. Compared to other world leaders, who usually “reign†until they die, Washington desired to see the country thrive with new leadership every 4-8 years and not a minute longer. Washington began his career by inheriting a tobacco farm in Virginia. Instead of riding out his family’s fortune, he enlisted. He was quickly recognized as an outstanding leader and was promoted to Senior Officer in the Colonial Militia during the French and Indian War. His early successes only set him up for further greatness when he was the Commander in Chief for the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War.
