A work colleague let me know he had some coins his father gave him a long time ago. I stopped by his house. He had a 1932-D Washington 1954-D washington and a 1961-D washington. He wants me to sell them for him. i grade the 32-D as an EF 40.. Going to take it to my LCS later. (pictures) to follow. I might offer him 80-100 for the 32-d.. maybe 120.00 for everything plus the a 1776-1976 3 coin silver proof set and a brown ike. Good deal?   *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***Edited by stampvirgin

Good deal? For you yes. The 32D if it's truly xf40, that's easily $150 coin. The bicentennial set is around $15, The brown Ike is another $7-$8. If its a friend I would offer him around $145-$150 for every thing. That's probably more than a LCS would offer, but you could still get out of the deal with some money in your pocket. |

I think I would call it VF35 - XF40.
I would consider the lower grade because the reverse looks to be a bit worse off than the obverse.

a safe thing for all sides is to tell your friend to go to the LCS to see what they will offer and tell him you will pay like 10 or 15% higher than he is offered. It is fair for all involved...except maybe the LCS.

for me the goal is, since I am adding to my collection, to get it for a bit less then the LCS. The 'friend' discount.
I will tell him both prices and let him decide.

a work colleague and a friend are two WAY different things :)
I agree with offering just a little more than the LCS.
120 sounds reasonable, especially considering he got them for free from his father. If he wants to sell them, its his decision but I wouldn't pull the trigger unless the deal was good.

The LCS is going to low ball the price because it wants to sell them for a profit and he has the overhead of maintaining a store. So I also believe that you should pay him more than the LCS but still offer a decent deal for you.

It's very fair in my opinion to have him get a couple LCS offers, if he wants to spend his time and gas..then make him an offer that you have considered already..if he says just make me a offer, make it easy on yourself, don't fall in love with them

Mintmark looks off to me, but I'm just flat out tired.

Unfortunately, I don't think the 1932-D is genuine. The mint mark looks way off. It should have a tall, block like appearance with lots of die polish surrounding it and appear to be sitting in a depression. Below is a picture of a genuine 1932-D.  |

Can you post a close up photo of the mint mark?

I'd be very curious to see a close up of the mint mark as well!
If it's genuine, it's VF-35 in my view.

Close, but no cigar, in my opinion. The reverse lettering is off, as are some other small details (the branches look very flat and "pasted on", the rim is off) and if you look at the eagle's right wing near TED S in UNITED STATES you can see what looks like casting metal that was not tooled off. 1932 was intended to be a one-year-only commemorative for Washington. The obverse die would be reused for 1934, and then changed twice more (creating the "medium" and "heavy" motto types) before 1944, but the reverse die is unique to 1932 and was not used on any other date. It features a "tall" rim which tended to reduce wear in circulation, so on all true 1932 Washingtons, the wear is usually even between the obverse and reverse; later dates (1934+) will show reverse wear before obverse. Would recommend OP confirm that it's silver, first, non-magnetic, and then send it to a TPG for authentication.

I don't know. I pasted an XF40 PCGS graded 32D from HA.com next to this one and it is really similar except the subject looks to be a little better. I do see what paralyse says about the TED S in United States. Not 100% but looks like its real. But then again I would have someone look at it.
