Pretty dang worn '32-D, but I received this in a great lot of coins I got in a trade. Didn't have one in any type of condition before this....   |

It's a start! Hard to believe it circulated that long before being snagged by someone.

It probably saved it from getting yanked. I'd guess it circulated through about '55 or so but that still is a lot of wear. Some coins do wear faster than others through mere chance. Allthey have to do is wind up in the pockets of more workmen than average. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

Thanks folks. I know it's obviously not the best example, but it's still fun to own!

Never a reason to apologize for a key date. I like to see that they still managed to do their duty.

Very few coins of this date and mint did and this fact makes the coin more special even if not more valuable. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

I can imagine it might have been in the pocket of a man who worked the jack hammers on Mt Rushmore. It might have been passed back and forth in their Friday night poker games for months. Coins often get caught up in loops like this in rural economies and even in big cities. Perhaps it was even the "lucky quarter" that was always the first coin tossed in the pot.

Clad King, that would be a super sweet backstory on it! The stories a coin could tell!

You know it is a lower grade coin..
Still ....it is better than a empty hole.
I would wonder what lowball collectors would think about it.
It is a very interesting coin, being so worn.

Lowball collectors.....had to look up that term. Pretty amazing what some extreme low grades go for.
I'm still sorting through some stuff I got in this trade. Bunch of stuff, mainly junk silver (which I'm fine with). Also picked up a really nice 1854 seated half in the lot. Will try to post images later.

I was thinking possibly a p01 as well. I like well worn coins, especially key dates.

Nice coin, might pull a PO-01 but I think it would be a details coin. Nice coin |
