Hey guys, got this lot for an astonishing deal at my LCS mixed in with junk silver/wheaties. What do you think they are worth and what should I get graded? Thanks.   |

@skel, is that a '32-D or '32-S? Maybe give us a nice closeup pic of that coin? Thx.

Not sure if you got a good deal or not as you did not include your purchase price for this lot.
your 1932 (D-S?) quarter is a low mintage coin and depending on condition, could bring in a nice premium

It's a 32-d. You can see some luster in person.   |

odd toning on the 32, or is it corrosion or dirt on it? Silver tarnish is usually much blacker than what we see here. I wonder if it took an over night bath in acetone to remove some of the dirt or gunk. If you do use acetone - DO NOT USE nail polish remover, as it has impurities in it that can damage a coin. Use pure acetone you can get from the hardware store.

Yes, please tell us the price paid. MM on '32-D looks a bit suspicious.

I paid about 25$ for everything in the pic. It was part of a larger lot though, this was just the best stuff.

If that is a genuine 1932-D Washington quarter then yes you did very well. The mintmark with that dark halo looks very suspicious as a possible added mm. Silver melt value for the 4 quarters is $15.30, add a bit more for the wheat and Buffalo and the lot (assuming the 32-D is not a genuine mm) is valued somewhere about $16. I recommend focusing on determining the authenticity of the supposed 1932-D quarter. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.artToo many hobbies .... too much work .... not enough time. |

I agree with others.
The 32D mint mark does look suspicious.
The 32 D and S quarters are often Counterfeited.

Seems too good to be true on the 1932-D. Looks like the mintmark was added. Sending it to a TPG would clear up any confusion, but you might be out the grading fee if it turns out to be counterfeit. |

That D does look rather odd.

That's a crazy good price for these coins. Can't get any better than these junk silver finds!! Nice work, it never hurts to peek at those junk bins.

The D mintmark doesn't even seem to be the same color as the rest of the coin.

I feel like a LCS should know coins well enough to know that the 32-D is a valuable coin. The fact that this lot was priced so low tells me that they think it's probably not real.

I agree the 1932 D does look odd, The 1934 appears to have a D mintmark as well which is a decent coin in high grade & if the 1940 has a d mintmark its pretty decent. The Wheat cent is nice and appears to be a 1909. The buffalo is decent looking & the standing appears to be average. So I would say a solid pickup for $25. I've only been collecting for a couple years (2017). Favorite Coin's are Standing Liberty quarters, Working on my type set: "knowledge is power" -Thomas Jefferson |
