Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6383 Posts	Posted 07/06/2009 2:23 pm I picked this coin up at the Long Beach coin and collectibles expo awhile back. It was a raw coin and had a stronger strike than most other examples I saw at the show. I later sent it to NGC for grading and authentication. The photos are taken through the slab. What grade do you think they assigned? Report this Post to the Staff

poconopete Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 07/07/2009 12:05 am You're going to hate me for this. AU58 to MS62 Tail feathers weak, also hair lines. I hope I'm wrong because pictures can lie. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6383 Posts	Posted 07/09/2009 10:34 am Pocono Pete is pretty close on this one! This coin has an interesting grading history. I remember the dealer told me he had broken the coin out of a PCGS MS-62 slab and was going to re-submit it since he thought it had been undergraded. I bought the raw coin and submitted it to SEGS at the show (they had a grading special for $10 per coin; seemed like a bargain!). The SEGS grade was just MS-60! I broke it out and tried NGC and got the MS-61. I'm not sure why they were so hard on this coin. The tailfeathers may be a bit weak but the obverse has a stronger-than-usual strike IMO, based on my inspection of quite a few mint state 1932-S quarters. Luster is strong and the contact marks are minimal. The dark line in front of George appears to be a toning streak, not a scratch. The eye appeal seems comparable to that of some MS-63 and MS-64 slabbed examples I've seen. Report this Post to the Staff

Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5604 Posts	Posted 07/10/2009 01:01 am Very sweet year to have for the Quarter, I also think you did well by receiving the MS61 you were assigned. I also do not see that PCGS would of given this an MS62, just my opinion, I do not think the strike is that "strong", I have seen some weaker and some stronger, I would be glad to have this coin in my collection....

vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 07/10/2009 05:49 am That's a huge strike for this date, however, I did not attempt to grade because the coin was shown through a scratched slab. BTW, nice coin! swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
