Today I made my usual once a month trip to our local coin shop to buy some junk silver coins for our metal detector club raffle. I always buy mercury dimes, silver quarters, walking liberty halves, and some Morgan dollars. When I got home I could not believe my eyes! One of my silver quarters was a 1932-D!! I think it will grade out as a VG or F! My Red Book values it at about $100.00! Not bad considering it was a purchase for a $3.00 coin!

That is an awesome score! WTG! In my opinion that
coin could almost grade VF.

That may get me to brave the ride over as a passenger with Vince..... I have not been hunting much, 4 times in the last 3 months. Selling houses and work is getting in the way.

Very nice. The Holy Grail of Washington quarters. You have to wonder how your coin shop missed that one.

Take a looksee with a 10 or 20 times magnifier to be sure the D wasn't added to the coin. The 32D is faked a lot by adding the D.
Either way, a nice coin.

Very nice find. That coin was in someone's collection for most of the past 85 years!
