I'm looking to buy this coin, sold as 1932 "2" far and certified, but, without the holder, is it really a 1932 2 far?

Why do you guys always draw lines to ascertain the near/far 32's? Just compare the gaps between the 2 and the leaf with the gap of the 3-2. If the gap between the 2 and the leaf is further than the 3-2, then it's a far. In a far, also the gap at 9-3 is a little wider than the 3-2 gap. Without drawing lines, it's EASY to tell a far from a near ... just look at the width of the 2-leaf gap (big!)

Why was it taken out of the holder and if the holder said 'far' why are you asking?..

It wasnt taken out of the holder, you can see a bit of the soft flip CCCS logo on the left.

DO NOT BUY a Far 2 in a soft flip from either Victoriancoins or kootenaydavid on ebay, as CCCS made a grading error and they are NOT Far 2's.

Johnnysprawl, interesting info on the CCCS Far 2's. I had seen both for sale lately and by the sellers you mentioned. It was obvious neither was a Far 2. What could have caused CCCS to blunder like this?
