Agree or Disagree with my grade I assigned to this coin? Discuss!

Its a very weak strike, especially on the reverse, but I thinks its AU50.

........i like it and would give it a 58

Disagree. AU58

Definite 55, if not a 58. That scratch under "S" in "Trust" distracted me the second time I opened this thread

For those in the weak strike camp show me a nicely struck 32 D. For those in the AU 58 camp show me another AU 58 QTR.

There is nothing wrong with the strike of this coin. They all come this way because there is very little relief on either side and the obverse had precious little fine detail added to the design. The lighting in the image makes for very little contrast in the fields so I do not see the expected hairlines from circulation, which might make me think higher AU, but overall it has the feel of an AU53/55 coin.

Boom

Like TomB, I too have seen this series in virtually all grades.

The owner has the advantage here, obviously - because coin in hand ...

but FROM THESE PIX I see no indication of anything less than 58.

I stress - FROM THESE PIX!

I have a 32-D which looks like the one you have pictured. It was purchased in a NGC ms-61 holder which I never thought it was a ms-61. I paid AU money and was satisfied with the purchase. I cracked it out and put in my Dansco album and if I ever resubmit it I would expect an AU-55 to an AU-58.

I sort of agree with the 50-55 grades BUT most 32-D that I see in holders seem higher than I would grade them so it might get graded 58 or even better.

I've seen many that look 58 to me in low unc grade holders.
Either I can't grade them or they're graded differently than most quarters.

The 32 can give you fits trying to peg.

Try to grade these HONESTLY and you'll see what I mean.

2nd row first quarter is nice.

The muted luster insures this coin is not MS, the slight circulation marks (hairlines) do not show up well in this photo, or much in hand.

The more I study your pics, Bruce
the more I'm coming to agree with
your assessment of your coin.

I'm starting to think 55 is right.
Afterall, you DO have the best seat
in the House.

Can we see it in it's natural, "silver"
look?

Thanx!

perhaps this one has a better strike although it has more wear.
