This 1942 Proof Washington Quarter has a PR67+ grade, indicating it is among the best at this grade for visible quality and beauty. Generally speaking, PR67 coins showcase original luster and three or four small contact marks, one or two of which may be in the primary focal fields. This particular specimen has a light, pastel-like toning with a vibrant luster. The colorful toning includes blue-violet hues around Washington’s portrait, with gold, rose, and amber tones at the rims of the coin. Both the obverse and reverse showcase deeply-mirrored fields with a satin appearance.

For the obverse of 1942 Proof Washington Quarters, you will find a left-profile bust of President Washington. This design was created in 1932 by John Flanagan and is inspired by a bust of George Washington that was sculpted in 1785 by Jean-Antoine Houdon.

In the reverse design of 1942 Proof Washington Quarters, the US Mint features a version of the heraldic eagle. Also designed by Flanagan in 1932, the design shows an American bald eagle perched on a sheaf of arrows with its wings spread and an olive branch wreath beneath.

John Flanagan’s original 1932 designs for the Washington Quarter represent one of the longest continually used coin designs in American history. While images such as Victor David Brenner’s portrait of President Lincoln on the US Penny has been in use longer, it has gone through several reverse iterations. Flanagan’s design on the US Quarter, however, was largely unchanged between 1932 and 2021. Only commemorative issues replaced the reverse eagle design during this period of American history.
