I am about to purchase a 1932-S quarter for my collection. I am torn between a EF-45 and a AU-50. The price difference between the two coins is about $110.00. Just wanting to get some input. Sorry no pics, the two coins are at my LCS.

I'd say EF-45. The grade (details) difference is barely anything on a Washington quarter and that $110 could go towards something else.

Thanks zxcccxz. That is what I was thinking, I could not tell the difference in the two by looking at them up close. I appreciate your input !!

What are the rest of your coins in your set? Are you trying to get all the same or similar grades? Or just a hodgepodge of different grades? Is this an investment? Or just a collection?

I would be inclined to get the best specimen for what I can afford. To me collecting a set is along term goal not a lets see how fast I can get my set together.

with the above. I would personally get an EF-45, but like Jayman931 said it depends on the average quality of the rest of your Washington collection.

A high XF coin like that with good eye appeal will fit in nicely with even higher grade MS coins. If the XF is a good looking coin, take that 110 and chunk it towards a matching 32 D or high grade 36D.

You didn't mention if you were confident in the assigned grade for each coin. I know you said that you couldn't see much of a difference between them, but did you ask why one was graded higher?

I don't know your budget, but if you believe the AU50 example to truly be a superior example (and can afford the difference in price) I would purchase the AU50.

Personally, I always try to get the choicest example I can afford. Also, the value of a higher grade coin will tend to appreciate more long-term.
