1956 US Mint Washington Quarter Brilliant Uncirculated Condition (BU) obverse and reverse.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The coin is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper<\/strong>, a standard composition for many U.S. coins of the era. This high silver content gives the coin its intrinsic value of $12.25 based on today’s spot price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The coin contains 0.1808 troy ounces of pure silver<\/strong>, making it a tangible asset for those interested in precious metals. Its precise silver weight also allows for easy valuation based on current silver market prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coins struck at the Philadelphia Mint<\/strong> do not feature a mint mark, maintaining the traditional style of the period. Coins struck at the Denver Mint<\/strong>, however, bear a \u201cD\u201d mint mark, signifying their place of production. This distinction between mints can impact the coin’s value, particularly for collectors seeking specific mint locations or lower-mintage variations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
