So, I cracked out this 1932-D so I could put it in my 1932- 1998 Wash. Quarter dansco album and I would like some opinions on what it could grade (I don't plan on getting it regraded).   |

Well wasn't it in an ANCS holder with a grade? Or was it details?

If you cracked it out of an ANACS holder, why do you need opinions on grade?  |

Who knows what's under that toning, think I see some luster @ the rims between the devices...I'll say AU-53/55. This should be an interesting reveal..  |

Errers and Varietys.

What it might grade the next time depends a lot on how good the coffee is in the office is that day. Since they deliberately do not use any verifiable standards to grade with, unlike a lot of people seem to think, the ink on the label is not set in stone.
Why are no verifiable standards used? This way they get paid more than once to grade the same coin as many times as someone wants to break it out and pay them to give it a grade. PCGS, in the 90s, said they had a computerized system they said would give one true grade. But very soon they abandoned it . They had advertised the new system necessary because it eliminated human error inherent to subjective grading. Yet they returned to what they called the flawed system of using human graders. Thus the huge profits from people re-submitting coins was not lost, and the companies retain that inferior system (as they called it!) to this day...a full quarter century after they abandoned using a verifiable standard. But they have made a lot of money off of collectors!

It won't grade any higher than AU-50.

You might have gotten a similar but un-rated coin at a lower price... Anyways, nice "Date and Mintmark" Washington quarter.  |
