Dansco Coin Albums have indeed been a reliable companion for coin collectors, catering to both experienced numismatists and beginners alike. The Washington Quarters 1932-1998 Dansco Album is designed specifically for collectors of Washington quarters minted between 1932 and 1998.
This album comes in a 1 1/8″ binder, providing ample space to hold up to 168 coins. It consists of 7 Dansco pages (series: 8140-1 to 8140-3, 7140-1 to 7140-7), with each page dedicated to showcasing the Washington quarters minted during the specified period. The Washington Quarter was first introduced in 1932 to commemorate the 200th birthday of George Washington, the first President of the United States.
In 1976, the U.S. Treasury held a contest to select a new reverse design for the Bicentennial Quarter, commemorating the 200th anniversary of the United States. The winning design was created by Jack L. Ahr. Apart from the dating “1776-1976” on the reverse, the obverse design of the coins remained unchanged throughout their mintage. In 1977, the Washington quarters reverted to their original reverse design.
From 1932 to 1964, Washington quarters were composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, weighing 6.25 grams. However, starting in 1965 and continuing to the present, Washington quarters have a pure copper inner core with an outer layer made of 75% copper and 25% nickel, weighing 5.67 grams. Regardless of the composition, all Washington quarters have a diameter of 24.3 mm.
