Comments

"The 1932-S Washington quarter dollar depicted on the coin showed its Mint mark on obverse — the position used for coins struck in 1968 and later. While both 1.5-inch and 3-inch bronze versions of the medal show this error, the gaffe was corrected in 1993 when an undated silver version was made. "
