I picked this coin up this week .. at melt, because the mint mark does not look ... as good as it should. For me I am not sure if it suffered a hit or was added. So I am not sure if I should put it into the fake coin folder or regular 2X2 box ... any thoughts?    Edited by GR58

I agree that the mint mark looks funny. It does not seem to have the same wear as the rest of the coin. How does it look under a loop?

To me .. under the 10X loop, the top part of the D looks good but most
of the bottom part looks like a blob.
Are fake D's glued on .. would soaking in acetone take it off, if it was.
Of course there could be a chance it is real

It could be a funky but real mm, or not. Yes, if it is an attached mm, soaking in acetone would cause it to fall off if it is attached with super glue, which is usually the case. Regardless, with a coin like that, it should be off to ANACS to make sure of its authenticity. Every 32D and S in this house has been graded to be sure. I highly recommend the same here.

Nice gamble for melt! No idea - I agree with smokeriderdon about getting it authenticated through a TPG. |

I really can't tell? It looks ok and funky too so I'm lost. How would a pro like a grading company know?

For a coin of that value I too suggest sending to PCGS, NGC or some TPGS. Only a few dollars to loose but a lot to gain.
Might be a RPM or even a D/S or S/D.

Hard to tell from photos but the 1932-d does have a "block-like" shape and large serifs to the left. Could be real.

I have a stack of coins that, when I get enough, I will send in to be slabbed.
I am thinking coins like this I will send to ANACS, where I just want to get a genuine and of course a grade.
I have not used ANACS, but I think they sometimes offer deals. Something like 10 coins for $100.

I just ran across this . . . . . though it is years old. Is there an update? I would vote that it is a Grease Filled Die and a genuine coin. For melt? Best deal I have heard of for a while. Would love to hear the outcome. |

GR58 is still on CCF so don't see a reason why they can't update us?

A rule of thumb for the 1932-D quarter is, if it looks bad, it's good. If it looks good, it's bad. The mintmark on the genuine pieces (and your coin) often does look as though it is coming up from a depressed area in the field, so that is reassuring. I don't particularly like the look of the mintmark itself, though. It has the right shape but looks like it has two textures going on, some kind of filling. I think it's a 50:50 shot genuine at this point. On one particular 1932-D reverse die there are three strong die polishing lines in the field between the mintmark and QUARTER. That might help but is absence is inconclusive either way. Best Regards,  George |

It looks legit to me... Thats the correct size and shape..heres a i,age of my junk silver box 32 d I found.. The mint mark is correct for the wear..believe its showing its circulation and wear.. This is my opinion.. I give it a very enthusiastic  nice find..my coin image should look familiar  Edited by rupester

I looked at the date this post started ...
and have to say I am very slow ...
But I always think coin collecting is a hobby where
you should take your time.
Anyways ....
This coin was sent into ANACS. The results were posted today.
Anyone care to take a guess what the results are?
Real?
Fake?
Grade?
Problems?
