Does Anybody See Any Problems With This 32 S Quarter?

I am with WindChild, the mintmark looks a little strange at the bottom. I trust Just Carl's opinions though.

I know nothing of quarters except that when I was a kid you could buy a five-pack of gum with one, but I want to second CoinAddict on the recommendation of this seller. I purchased my 1862 IHC from Coinman2000 and it actually looked better in-hand than in the photos (I purchased it knowing it was a corroded problem coin and only wanting it because it matched my budget; in hand, the corrosion turned out to be much lighter than it looked in the photo). Please keep in mind that this seller DOES auction problem coins (when doing so he usually starts 'em at a buck and lets people decide what they want to pay; he doesn't try to hide the damage, but he won't highlight it, either), so you will want to examine your coin closely before you buy.

to the Community, darvant!

Thanks for the welcome, jbuck.

And to goldencardinal...I was not bidding on the coin you referred to - what auction venue was it on?
I'd like to take a look, post-auction, if you have the time to let me know the auction number.

The auction I'm referring to ends in three days in US Large Cents, and the seller refused to allow my bid, as is the seller's prerogative.

After reading through the posts and confirming the numismedia price for a VF, I put in a bid of $115. The fellow came back with $140. I offered $120 and he accepted.

I'm such a newb, that even when I get the coin, I won't quite know if it is or isn't a problem coin.

Everyone is being very helpful.

Thanks,

I can't see a whole lot wrong with that purchase.

I haven't taken the coin out of its 2X2 and these are the clearest most magnified pics I could manage. Does this change anybody's opinion. I have 14 days to get a refund.






Thanks,

I bought my 32D & 32S last tear. At first I thought my D was fake b/c under the microscope, it almost looked like there was a flat shelf at the base of the D and the entire D was surrounded by a circular area of patina that reminded me of heat being applied.

So I spent some time and did some research on the known-real S & D mint mark varieties by looking at large quality pics of PCGS and NGC slabbed 32D & 32S quarters from online auctions. I was amazed at the wide variety of legit mint marks. It also was not too long before some of the slabbed pics showed the one I had bought was legit. And it turned out my 32D had been cracked out of an NGC slab.

The coin you show in the pic looks legit to me.

Also - on a note of Chinese fakes:

I bought a 32D and 32S fake from China deliberately to educate myself about them. Since then I saw/handled another set. Both sets have "problems" around the top edge of the coin at the rims. The fake rims around the circumference of the psuedo-quarters just are not even.

The rims on yours look good and not at all like the fakes. I will try to get some pics posted - card reader acting up though.
