The ATB Quarters set was just released a couple days ago, and as I was reading the description, I noticed this statement:
"Each coin in this series features a common obverse (heads) with the 1932 portrait of George Washington by John Flanagan, restored to bring out subtle details and the beauty of the original model."
So now I'm wondering if that means our quarter's obverse has more detail now?? Have there been changes on George's bust? More detail in the hair sort of like what they did with Kennedy...?? Has somebody already mentioned this?

Appears it is the same description as 2018.

America the Beautiful Quarters 2018 Uncirculated Coin Set
“Each coin in the series features a common obverse (heads) with the 1932 portrait of George Washington by John Flanagan, restored to bring out subtle details and the beauty of the original model. Each year, five new national site designs are depicted on the reverse (tails) of the quarters. The 2018 coins honor the sites below with the following designs:”
Same obverse
The ATB quarters use a bust that is closer to the John Flanagan original. The bust on the preceding 50 States series was based on the low-relief "spaghetti hair" rendition used in the 1990's on the late Washington/Eagle issues.
