I picked this coin up at the Long Beach coin and collectibles expo awhile back. It was a raw coin and had a stronger strike than most other examples I saw at the show. I later sent it to NGC for grading and authentication. The photos are taken through the slab. What grade do you think they assigned?

You're going to hate me for this. AU58 to MS62 Tail feathers weak, also hair lines. I hope I'm wrong because pictures can lie.

Pocono Pete is pretty close on this one!

1932-S-Quarter,-NGC-Graded

This coin has an interesting grading history. I remember the dealer told me he had broken the coin out of a PCGS MS-62 slab and was going to re-submit it since he thought it had been undergraded. I bought the raw coin and submitted it to SEGS at the show (they had a grading special for $10 per coin; seemed like a bargain!). The SEGS grade was just MS-60! I broke it out and tried NGC and got the MS-61.

I'm not sure why they were so hard on this coin. The tailfeathers may be a bit weak but the obverse has a stronger-than-usual strike IMO, based on my inspection of quite a few mint state 1932-S quarters. Luster is strong and the contact marks are minimal. The dark line in front of George appears to be a toning streak, not a scratch. The eye appeal seems comparable to that of some MS-63 and MS-64 slabbed examples I've seen.

Very sweet year to have for the Quarter, I also think you did well by receiving the MS61 you were assigned. I also do not see that PCGS would of given this an MS62, just my opinion, I do not think the strike is that "strong", I have seen some weaker and some stronger, I would be glad to have this coin in my collection....

That's a huge strike for this date, however, I did not attempt to grade because the coin was shown through a scratched slab. BTW, nice coin!
