{"product_id":"1981-p-washington-quarter-bu","title":"1981-P Washington Quarter BU","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1981-P Washington Quarter BU\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a well-preserved example from the later years of the classic Washington quarter series. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, it represents a coin that was once a familiar part of everyday American commerce during the late 20th century. In Brilliant Uncirculated condition, it offers the cleaner surfaces, sharper detail, and stronger overall eye appeal collectors look for when adding a nicer clad quarter to a set. \u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Washington quarter was first introduced in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1932\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e to honor the 200th anniversary of George Washington’s birth. Designed by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJohn Flanagan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, the series became one of the most enduring designs in U.S. coinage and remained the standard circulating quarter design for decades. By 1981, the quarter had long since moved into the modern clad era, with regular-issue pieces struck in copper-nickel over a pure copper core rather than silver. Coins from this period connect collectors to the long-running Washington quarter design before the major reverse changes that would come much later. \u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCollectors continue to enjoy Washington quarters because they are affordable, familiar, and easy to collect by date and mint. A Brilliant Uncirculated \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1981-P\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is especially appealing for collectors who want a clean Philadelphia example with stronger original eye appeal than a coin that spent time in circulation. Coins like this work well in a Washington quarter album, a late-20th-century type set, or a broader date-and-mint collection. The final sentence is an inference based on the coin’s date, mint, and BU condition. \u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecifications \u0026amp; Mintage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDenomination: Twenty-Five Cents\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeries: Washington Quarter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesigner: John Flanagan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eComposition: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel over a pure Copper center\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight: 5.67 grams\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDiameter: 24.30 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdge: Reeded\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMint: Philadelphia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMintage: 601,716,000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYears of Issue: 1932–1998\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReverse Type: Eagle Reverse \u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eItem Details\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis listing includes \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eone 1981-P Washington Quarter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrilliant Uncirculated\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e condition.
