I've been wanting one of these for a while. Decided to use some of my minimum distribution IRA money to get this one, MS63. 1932 is the most common year. I don't plan on getting more of this type since I'm mostly a bullion stacker now. It has some reverse Machine Doubling I think. I like it. The PCGS pic is upper left. There's been comments on CCF that PCGS pics are known not to represent coins correctly, the bright lighting tends to hide surface marks, imperfections. In hand it looks like a MS63 to me. I paid more premium than for an ungraded one obviously. Today's melt value is about $1,661, high gold spot prices currently. My wife wants us to use the rest of my min. dist. to go on vacation. But I have to heal from my rotator cuff surgery, arm in sling for another month, can't drive. When I downsizeed the pic it lost some resolution, not as clear.  Edited by livingwater

I also love the design of these coins. St. Gaudens was such a fantastic artist.

Nice  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Really nice addition. I too have wanted a 1932 to add to my collection but have not been able to find the right one.
