ZAL New Member United Kingdom 7 Posts	Posted 01/12/2016 9:58 pm Hi Thanks guys , always new stuff to learn which adds to ones knowledge, might as well polish it up and see what comes up, I got this in a collections of coins which I got for next to nothing, the others being State Quarters and this one and a 1944 brass penny were in the end sleeve, just looked dirty to me until I did some research, does feel like silver though, but if that brass comes up ill frame it as a fake ,i cant understand why people would make such things, its quite off putting when you want to buy a coin these days. This site is really great, not an avid coin collector , just what I pick up if it looks old , Thanks for all you expert advice . Zal Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 01/13/2016 12:46 am I don't like the looks of OP's coin at all. Almost certainly a forgery/fake. Notice the motto, and the date, and the MM size and location compared to below: My 1932-S (PCGS 63): Also for comparison, my 1932-D (PCGS MS63) Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6383 Posts	Posted 01/13/2016 02:08 am Agree with the group: the entire coin appears to be a forgery. The usual technique is to take a genuine silver 1932 Philadelphia quarter (quite inexpensive in circulated grades) and add either an S or D mintmark to simulate the much more valuable San Francisco or Denver-mint coin. Maybe the counterfeiter can save a few bucks per piece by just stamping out complete fakes in mass quantities. Report this Post to the Staff
