I cherry picked a 1932 Far 2 recently. Here is the seller's image. If you're interested, have fun and see if you can see which one it is..

The one at the bottom - the spacing between the 3 and 2 is visibly larger... looks to be a nice VF, judging by wear on the leaf tips.

Nice pick!

@SPP-Ottawa - Wrong one, but thanks for "nice [cherry] pick" comment.

Hint / Reminder to all - Far 2 means the 2 is further from the right leaf than in the normal 1932. Think of it as a low 2. One way to spot this variety is to look at the distance/spacing between the 3 & 2 which is tighter on the Far 2. The other technique is to draw a line from the bottom of the two leaves which will hit the top of the 1 and the 2 in the normal 1932 but the 2 will be clearly below the line in the far 2.

I seen this exact lot on ebay, looked at the picture than, and did not see a far 2 so I did not peruse it.
I still don't see it.

Here is the answer...

Where-Is-Waldo?--Find-The-1932-Far-2

The left image above shows which one is the Far 2 (i.e. the one to the left of the corroded one at the top of the pile of coins) and the image on the right is the close up rotated with "the line" drawn.

N.B. The seller had 6 separate rolls for sale. I bought all 6 rolls (knowing that there was at least one far 2). Unfortunately, there was only one far 2 but I did have fun searching all the others...always hoping I find another.
