The obverse of the coin features a bust of George Washington in the center of the coin, facing the left side.
In addition, the words “Freedom” and “In God We Trust” and the year of minting can be seen and read.
On the reverse side, there is an image of an eagle with open wings, holding arrows in its talons, and its head moving to the left side.
Important details of the piece
On this side of the coin are the inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA”, “QUARTER DOLLAR” and “E Pluribus Unum”.
The most popular specimen also has the mintmark “D,” which links it to the Denver Mint, with numbers 417,341, 364 minted in 1970.
Samples are in excellent condition.
Another important aspect is that when minting these coins, wooden planks were used to replicate the 10 cent denomination and the pieces looked thinner than normal.
If you have one of these coins, the condition in which it was found greatly affects its value and you can have it evaluated by a coin collector or coin professional.
