About this Product

Full Product Name

Secret Silver Quarter from 1997!

Yes, Silver! For 7 years prior to the start of the 50 State Quarter program the US Mint made an extremely limited Silver Proof Quarter. They were only available as part of the black box Silver Proof Sets, issued between 1992 and 1998. And the mintages are low - really low ... so small you would have thought the US Mint didn't want the collecting public to know they existed.

They were made out of .900 fine US Silver, just like the issues prior to 1964. But scarce ... WOW! Without a doubt they are the lowest mintage US Quarters produced by the US Mint since the 1950's !!!

This 1997 Silver Proof Washington Quarter comes presented in an acrylic coin capsule.
