  • Vintage Washington quarter
  • Nickel backing and post

  • George Washington on your lapel would surely inspire you throughout the day. The outline of our number one President has been intricately hand-cut from an antique silver quarter and attached to a nickel backing and post. It is a striking piece, instantly recognizable as our first President, and would make a wonderful gift, or a special keepsake for yourself!

  • The Washington quarter was introduced into circulation in 1932 in commemoration of the bicentennial of the birth of the United States’ first President. It permanently replaced the standing Liberty quarter. The Washington quarter was struck in silver until 1964 when the rising price of the precious metal created a coin shortage, as quarters and half dollars were being hoarded. Coins struck after 1964 contained no silver.

HEADS OR TAILS?

HEADS it is. Of the dozen or so items in my order, the smallest is my favorite by far. This lapel pin is magnificent. FLAWLESSLY cut, exceptional quality, meticulous craftsmanship. This is no ordinary lapel pin. The pin button on the back is of superior design, not those flimsy flange-type button you get with souvenir pins. This is no souvenir, it is jewelry quality. I wear it daily at the office and it always catches the attention of everyone I come in contact with (socially speaking.) "Is that from a quarter??" everyone will ask. Inevitably, the next question is, "where did you get it?" It comes in a nice metal display can, resembling the shape of a hockey puck but not as big or as thick. The lid is clear so you can use it as a nice display. I wonder, how many thousands or tens of thousands of people have used this quarter, and now it has found a home on my lapel. Welcome home, George Washington!
