1932-S Washington Quarter

How would you grade this coin and should I sell it raw or submit it to NGC and sell it as a graded coin?

 

 

Thanks!

AU-55 but it looks like it the obverse is cleaned, from those images.

 

These are not worth certifying at this level, in my opinion. Heck, I bought a raw MS-60 for well under greysheet this past weekend.

Coin looks dull in these pics like it's had a bath. If it's just the pictures and in fact is BU it's pretty nice. I'd get it slabbed then put it into a BIG auction. Slabbing it makes it investment quality so you bring in more bidders. More bidders, more value.

 

I once had a Washington 1932 D and 1932 S (both slabbed AU) I was shopping around at a larger coin show here.Showed a Dealer the coins and he literally tossed them across the table at me when I gave him my price (Grey Sheet Bid). I was so offended it was obvious. Before I could get out WTF he saw my mood change and began to explain that every Dealer has numerous examples of these coins and wont buy unless they are dirt cheap.

 

Moral to the story, it's next owner will be a Collector or an Investor. Dealers capable of properly grading your coin won't be interested. Collectors and Investors who aren't grading experts like the security of a slab on something like this.

I agree 100%, assuming that what I'm interpreting as hairlines on the obverse are indeed hairlines.

May have been cleaned and at least dipped. I would grade it in the AU 55-58 range.

The coin appears to have been cleaned and it therefore marginal. I'm not sure that it will grade if you send it in for grading.

 

Here is a 1832-D I bought in a collection many years ago that had been whizzed "beyond the point of redemption." If the coin you see looks like this, you have a problem.

MS details with a light whizzing. Still a coin I would not mind owning.

I think its AU details, but I can't decide if that is whizzing or a fingerprint. Definitely cleaned and lackluster though.

I agree with the others, AU Details. I would leave it raw.
