And no, it wasn't even a useful holey.
A guy called me and needed some money, so I gave him five bucks for it and bought a Franklin half and some Ikes from him.
That 16-D is an abomination, though. Somebody will roast eternally in the ninth subfloor of Numismatic Hell for that whizjob.
The only way that coin will ever look nice again is if somebody wears it down A LOT (as one would do with a pocket piece).

Now THAT'S what I like to hear!!!!!
I'll never forget it. It had scratches in it so deep they could hold water in them. Don't you know, I had to go thru not one but TWO different Square Trade mediators, eBay and the IFCC to get my money back...AND GET IT, I DID!
He had the nerve to relist that very same coin as soon as he signed for it. (I had shipped it COD. He was auctioning it off again before my check got back to me. I told ebay about it and Safe (that's a joke) Harbor that he was at it again and do you know, they did absolutely nothing to stop this guy. I was so enfuriated that I told ebay and Safe Harbor that if they wouldn't do something, I would...and I DID!
Every night for 10 nites, I systematically broke ebay rules and regulations by emailing every one that had bid, telling them all of my nightmare and even pointing it out as it's previous item #. Every last person retracted their bids. He had come right out and stated "This is a Gem MS 64+ 1932-D" How the hell ebay allowed him to continue selling is beyond me and negligence/ culpability in their truest forms.
It went down from a $1000 item when I caught him, to a $75 starting bid and don't you know, as luck would have it, aven after all that vigilance, some poor sucker came out of nowhere at the last minut! How terrible, but what's even worse is the fact that he still sell to this day. Now THAT sux!
The thing is, whatever idiot did this to the coin ought to be skinned alive as otherwise it was the sharpest struck 32-D I have ever seen...even to this day! I've seen several coins including a 40-D that would no doubt have graded 66/67 had it not been for an idiot not knowing what he was doing. I've seen women clean "that nasty stuff" of their coins, like silverware and reduce tens of thousands of dollars in otherwise pristine coins to worthless junk! DUMB, DUMB, DUMB!!!
<< <i>One of my very first transactions when I was brand spanking new to eBay involved ebay seller onereg, Jeffrey Garrison. He had tilted the coin just right and utilized lighting to his benefit to disguise what IS definitely the worst example of a whizzed 1932-D Washington Quarter.

I hate to hear eBay stories like that. At least you got your money back. What I have learned in the seven years that I have used eBay is that eBay really doesn't care about fraud or scams as long as they are still getting their cut. It is really sad, but they continue to look the other way instead of fix the problem. I'm sure that eBay seller (as well as all the other scammers that plague eBay) will get theirs in the end.
<< <i>He MUST have idiots for customers. Look at some of his other stuff such as his 32-D & S Quarters. This is the type of lowlife that gives the honest sellers bad names. Yes, you've got that right HOCs, he sure will get what's due him in the end! >>
Ironically, his feedback is pretty clean as well. No negs in the last year from a power seller. If I didn't see his pictures, I wouldn't have even been suspicious.
