AboutMyCoin1998-D Washington Quarter in G4
A 1998-D Washington quarter graded G4 is that coin in one particular state of preservation — the date and the mint mark are already fixed, and G4 is what a grader called the surface that survived. What that looks like on this coin is below. Where the grade sits against the rungs either side of it, and every way it is written on a slab, are in the table below.
What G4 means
A 1998-D Washington quarter in Good (G-4) is worn evenly across its whole surface, and the design reads as an outline rather than a relief: the high points of Washington’s hair above and behind the ear are flat, the eagle’s breast and the tops of its wings show no detail at all, and LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST and the date are still readable with the rim beginning to merge into the lettering.
A slab, a dealer’s list or a price guide may write this grade G-4. They are the same grade and the same 1998-D Washington quarter.
Where this grade sits
The grades a 1998-D Washington quarter is given run from PO1 to MS70. One step up from G4 is Good (G-6). In general terms, the higher the grade the more the coin is worth.
