| Beschrijving voorzijde | Left-facing bust of George Washington, first President of the United States (1789–1797), rendered in high relief after the original sculptural design by John Flanagan. The legend LIBERTY arcs across the upper field, while the national motto IN GOD WE TRUST appears in smaller lettering to the lower left of the portrait. The mint mark, when present, is situated below the truncation of the bust, and the date is inscribed along the lower rim. The initials JF, for the engraver John Flanagan, appear at the base of Washington's neck truncation. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The clad composition dates directly to the Coinage Act of 1965, which stripped silver from dimes and quarters after rising silver prices made the metal's bullion value approach face value. Congress passed the act over significant protest — some lawmakers argued the change amounted to debasing the currency — and the Treasury initially banned the export of the new coins to prevent arbitrage comparisons with the old silver pieces.
Philadelphia and Denver struck these without mint marks from 1965 through 1967, a deliberate policy intended to discourage hoarding by collector date-sets. The San Francisco mark returned in 1968, but only on proof issues.
