    Genuine, altered surfaces.

    Polished EF/AU if real, but the motto looks too strong for the 1932 variety. However, the abuse and lighting might be highlighting the motto.

    I was looking at Washington's hair. It looks like a few curls have been added. The guy has several other key date quarters ending soon. I can see a few unhappy buyers.

    The only reason that I say genuine is because the mint mark looks ok, but the pics are small so it's just a guess.

    The buyers will likely be happy as all get out if they were willing to bid at that level for that coin given the images provided. There is a certain niche buyer for nearly every seller.

    Looks tooled and polished to my eyes.

    The boink meter went off the charts on that one.

    It looks polished.

    What's that thing between the B-E ?

    I agree the hair looks off to me too. That was my first thought before i read the thread.

    Whizzed is right!

    Of course, if you want to spend $465 for an uncirculated 32-D Quarter this is what you get.

    Years back I bought from this seller, all of his coins meet the jar of Dip-O. He does have a good return policy though.

    Did not see the thread till now.
    I strongly question its authenticity. The mint mark looks too small in the one reverse shot. No enlargement available of the reverse.
