Wasn't just in my change if that's what you mean. Found it in rolls of circulated 1932 nickels so it was an unattributed I consider that the wild for this sort of stuff.

Great find man! Tough one to come by and I notice that at Nuphilex 2 years ago dealers started really paying attention to this variety.

Here's a couple of better photos of the obverse incase anyone wants to throw out a grade. I really need a lighting box for these pictures though.   Edited by Talonbat

I understand as with the far six variety, a slightly different die was used but how hard is it see the two types, I myself can't see much value in these varieties, no eye appeal, but as they say that's why they make chocolate and vanilla.

It's a good question john and I always think I'm going to miss then varieties when looking but when you see the 2 different ones side by side(1926 or 1932) it's actually a pretty dramatic difference.

Get it graded, CCCS recognize this variety and sell it fast, can't argue if someone is willing to pay great price for such coin, you have a good eye and get rewarded.

Thank you for the better photos. I'll change my grade to strong VF30 (scratched on reverse details). My best far 2 is a weak VF20. Not that it is needed for identifying, but there should be a die crack at the bottom of the "S" in cents that goes to the rim (at least on all the examples I've seen).

The essential key for the 1932 variety (as well as the 1926 far 6 and the 1929 high 9 1c) is that it is an outlier, the more common variety in each case being a single date spacing variety.* That is, it was not the norm for there to be digit placement variations at that time. When it was the norm, as with the 1859 N9 1c and the later Geo. VI 50c, such differences become trivial.
*Some argue that there are more than two 1929 1c date varieties, but I have not yet seen hard evidence of this.
