I was hoping for some help on the grades. For the obverse I remembered to pull the plastic away before the photograph. For the reverse photograph I forgot to pull it away and it has the plastic over the coin. The scratches you see on the reverse of the S below the left wing are on the plastic. 1932 D Obverse  1932 D Reverse  1932 S Observe  1932 S Reverse

Would like to see a couple of pictures out of the Dansco. There is something odd about these coins, particularly, the 32D, which appears to be misaligned obverse dies (uneven strike pressure), particularly noticeable at the motto, the rim, and the uneven hair and ear detail. There is luster present in both pictures, which makes me think these are both AU coins, but possibly cleaned, as there seem to be noticeable hairlines across all surfaces of the obverses of both coins (again, pictures out of the album will help!)
If I had to guess with only these pictures to go by I'd put AU details/cleaned on both coins.

Thank you both for your replies, they are very appreciated.
I will try to get some pics outside the Dansco posted tonight after work.

T-BOP, I wondered the same thing, but thought it might be due to the album, that's one of the reasons I was wondering if we could get some shots of the coins outside.

I'm certainly no expert here, and there may well be "high MM" varieties for this date, but it would seem coincidental for both to exhibit this. Close up straight-on shots of the MM areas would really help.

I too would be concerned about the mint marks.
It might just be the pictures.

Yeah ,sorry for jumping the gun . It's just that so many of these 32 -D&S's are faked .  |

Don't be sorry at all! I am appreciative of the replies and if they are bad-- then I need to know.
I think I can see from the pictures I took that I think the 32 S has been cleaned.
Do the better pictures help anyone with grading guesses?

I'm not too sure from pics if any of these two coins were cleaned , but I just noticed a nasty rim damage on the reverse of the 32-S at around 3:00 . AU-Details ?  |

The 32S is cleaned, unfortunately, AU details.
The 32D...I'd say AU-53. Probably dipped at some point, and a bit baggy, but I don't see the hairlines nearly as much as are noticed on the 32S. The MM shape, position, etc. look correct for a genuine 32D but professional authentication is always recommended.

Thank you everyone for taking the time to give input. Based on this, I think I will send the 32 D for grading but skip the 32 S for grading. I am an ANA member for my coin insurance, and I see this allows me to submit to NGC. So I guess I will give it a try. I guess I have to try with some coin sometime, so it might as well be the one. |
