Washington Silver Quarter - Background & Design:
As the United States prepared to celebrate the 1932 bicentennial of the birth of its first president, George Washington, members of the bicentennial committee established by Congress sought a Washington half dollar. They wanted to displace for that year only the regular issue Walking Liberty half dollar; instead Congress permanently replaced the Standing Liberty quarter, requiring that a depiction of Washington appear on the obverse of the new coin. The committee had engaged sculptor Laura Gardin Fraser to design a commemorative medal, and wanted her to adapt her design for the quarter. Although Fraser's work was supported by the Commission of Fine Arts and its chairman, Charles W. Moore, Treasury Secretary Andrew W. Mellon chose a design by Flanagan, and Mellon's successor, Ogden L. Mills, refused to disturb the decision.
The new silver quarters entered circulation on August 1, 1932, and continued to be struck in silver until the Mint transitioned to copper-nickel clad coinage in 1965. A special reverse commemorating the United States Bicentennial was used in 1975 and 1976, with all pieces bearing the double date 1776–1976; there are no 1975-dated quarters. Since 1999, the original eagle reverse has not been used; instead that side of the quarter has commemorated the 50 states, the nation's other jurisdictions, and historic and natural sites—the last as part of the America the Beautiful Quarters series, which continued until 2021. The bust of Washington was modified and made smaller beginning in 1999; in 2010 the original bust was restored (though still small) to bring out greater detail. In 2021, Flanagan's original design resumed its place on the obverse, with a design showing Washington crossing the Delaware River in 1776 for the reverse, while in 2022 a new commemorative series depicting women commences.

Washington Silver Quarter - Grading Scale & Guidelines:
As understood and in relation to condition notes and guidelines, a Washington Silver Quarter in "Brilliant Uncirculated" condition may have very minor traces of wear or abrasions visible on only the highest points on the coin. Minor luster may be present and the surface should be well-preserved. Significant nicks and bag marks should be at a minimum.
Obverse: There is no trace of wear even on the design high points. The mint luster is full and complete but there are significant distracting marks in the field and/or on Washington's face.​
Reverse: There is no trace of wear on the eagle's high points including the breast and the upper tips of the eagle's wings. There are a significant number of distracting marks on the eagle.
