Welcome! What's the mint mark? If it's a D it would be a key date.

no mint mark

The '32 D and S are key dates. Actually, the '32S appears to have lower mint #'s and is slightly more valuble than the D mint.
Melt value is probably now equal to collector value, in VF condition.

the 32-S does have a lower mintage, but the 32-d is more valuable, especially in the higher grades.

Melt value is still nowhere near collector value.
Melt is around $8.75
The lowest price I could find on ebay completed transactions was a 1932-D in G4 that sold for $85, and a 1932-S in VG8 that sold for $115

As far as the 32 w/o mintmark. If it's well circulated, it's worth about the same as a 1964, or any other common date. Not really much of a collector's item, unless it's mint state.

Watch out, there are a lot of fakes out there. Take a very close look.

Somebody brought one of the fake 1932 S into the store on Pawn Stars. One of Ricks experts determined the S was soldered? on

Yep, I was referring to the '32 no mint mark as only being worth melt in F condition.

The '32S (per 2010 Redbook) lists $200 in F12, and the '32D at $190. In general, values may vary.

Yes it is real because it makes the ringing noise when you drop it. U gotta love the sound of silver. But yes I am aware of the location of the mintmark and it is not there either that or it is well worn off. I looked in the red book and the 1932 quarter held a slight premium above melt value compared to the 64.

It is still a sweet find. Silver quarters from the 30's are usually pretty badly wore, so anything good or better would be a real nice find.
