In the section where they talk about key dates they talk about the Washington key date quarter. Here is what the magazine says word for word: In 1932, the Philadelphia Mint struck 5,404,000 coins, the Denver Mint struck 436,800 coins and the San Francisco Mint struck 408,000 coins. The 1932 Philadelphia production is not considered a key date. Even though the San Francisco Mint struck more quarter dollars than did the Denver facility, the 1932-D is the series' top key date. This what the magazine says word for word. Here is the error. If the San Francisco Mint minted 408,000 and Denver minted 436,800 than why do they say that San Francisco struck more quarter dollars? Wouldn't it be Denver struck more? Is there any way to contact Coin World magazine and let them know of this error. If you have the magazine it is on page 33 on the right hand side. Mods if this is not the place for this please do not hesitate to move it. |

Fewer Denver coins were saved in MS than San Francisco coins in MS, and thus the Denver coin is more expensive. The article is correct.  |

The article is correct. Not completely. There is an error, which ckrakowski correctly identified. Quote:

Perhaps they meant to say "Even though the San Francisco Mint struck fewer quarter dollars than did the Denver facility, the 1932-D is the series' top key date." |

Ambiguous, at best. As to Frogs statement, the article didn't mention MS.
I got a few nits....

There are a lot more Washington collectors that do attempt an MS set than any other quarter series.
It's easy to think in MS terms for them.
There's nothing wrong with a nice circulated set, either.
But it isn't too tough in MS.

Concur with jbuck suggested revisions ... but IMHO its not worth pursuing a correction for one word change.

I would just let it be. Those of us that collect understand
the 1932-D is the key date, even tho there were a bit less
S minted coins.

But it isn't too tough in MS. Mine is a curious mix of both.  Many of the more common dates are circulated because I started building the set from roll hunting. Most everything else, expect the aforementioned 32-D and 32-S, are AU-MS since I was taking time and buying coins to fill the holes. I originally intended to update the lower grade pieces, but could never bring myself to do it. I have had those coins for a very long time (they were originally in a Whitman folder before the Dansco) and have fond memories of finding them. It may not be a matched set, but it brings me joy when I look at them and I see the contrast between what I found and what I bought. |

It is nice to see what you really believe nickel.
So you believe people should be given the wrong info.
Well I can say that I will stay far away from you and not do any business with you and will no longer believe anything you say on this site.

It is implied by my statement that they used the wrong word and is in need of correction. |
