Quote: Why is the 32-D so much more expensive than lower mintage 32-S higher grades? Nobody really knows.  To quote Q. David Bowers from his A Guide Book of Washington and State Quarters, "I have always wondered, and I do not know the answer" (page xii).

Thanks CollegeBarbers You know there are many other coins that seem to be over or under valued and no one knows why. Same goes for 1927 Peace dollar which has one of the lowest mintages and yet is much cheaper than some other Peace dollars.

The 1932-S coins were saved in greater quantity in Uncirculated grades. The 1932-D examples for whatever reason saw more circulation. As a result, 1932-D is easier to find in circulated grades than 1932-S, and the opposite for Uncirculated examples.

'81-S seems to be a colorful year in my experience, that one is no different... (Beautiful)

Not as nice as those beautiful Morgans but I won this counterstamped 1863 CN Indian Head cent for a mere $0.99 today. The obverse is stamped JAG and the reverse either HN or NH.

Quote: The obverse is stamped JAG and the reverse either HN or NH. The serifs on the N tell me it is HN (unless they stamped the N upside down).

I should have added this the other day, as I got it on Saturday, but better late then never as Mom used to say. I won this for a lot less then I was ready, willing, and able to pay for it, so I'm a very happy camper, and feel really fortunate to have such an historical piece in my collection. 1787 (Nighttime) Fugio Newman 1-B variety (Nighttime because the sun is gone. LOL)
