I am not an expert, but the white hues around the S makes me think that the MM has been glued on.

I know those are out there...I've had this one 20yrs plus...now I'm looking at it with curiosity. What's a good way to find out it's legitimacy?

It does look a bit strange to me too but no expert either.

The only thing that makes me feel it's legit is that there are scratches (die scratches) the extend out from the area in question, ...not likely if it were glued or attached somehow, so I'm hoping it was just a hard punch in the die that left that impression.
The other thought is the S though...hope it's the correct font.

Its definitely real. There's a die scratch connecting D to one of the leaves. That only appears on genuine 32-S Washies.

So now let's go fishing...is the serif in the S divided at the top? Red Herring? 😁😁😳

That's a new arena for me. Coop, maybe you can email me the process and recommend which grading service...thx. I've never had a coin graded before nor own any that are.

PCGS or ANAC's are probably the direction I would go. Depending on the coin. If the coin looks BU flawless, then PSGS. If the coin looks circulated/cleaned/surface questionable, I would send it to ANACs. The coin is in your hand to tell which way to go. After you decide, search online for their sites and see what you determine that need to be done and see if you can submit it to them. (Ask in email first.)

AMB, do you have pics of the whole coin, both obverse and reverse? I'm curious. 😁
