Tom (1tommy) should ring in shortly. He just got one back, graded MS64, I believe. He tells me there are probably not that many out there, so, put that bad boy in a 2X2 and keep it safe till Tom chimes in.

edited to change MS65 to MS64

edited again to add...according to Tom's cert look-up, PCGS has a total population of only SEVEN, but looking up the pops, it shows 12, but only 10 are listed, and it shows 2 '+'s', but the pluses don't seem to be shown, making the 'total' of 12, so, I don't know exactly what's going on with the pops, but if a coin is on Coinfacts, I'd tend to go with the pop of 7....even with 10, it's a rare bird!

metalmeister, is that in a real TPG slab, and if so, what grading co, and what grade???

Yes Ken, I feel Like the Goiter Master. Congats on the find and looks like a nice MS example. As Ken mentioned I found the 8th known example and the first Non MS was a VG08 and than with continued searching I picked one off and it just came back the 7th MS 64 with 2 higher MS 65, and there is one lower than mine now a G4. I say this coin is rare just beacuse of there only being 12 graded examples and there are those in the top 5 registry that do NOT have this coin. The last one to show up for auction was in 2010 and I believe sold for under 500. Pcgs price guide for my VG 08 was 12 bucks. But I believe otherwise. What a great find and the coin being 70 years OLD ( Happy Anniversary Goiter)and looking the same as when it left the mint. Send it in and see what happens..............Enjoy tom

Here it is jim Morrison. Sorry, I meant to post it, but I am all thumbs today

Does this make it the 12th graded example?

BTW. Why do they call it the Goiter Neck???

Tommy: What grade 43S sold for $500?

Shows how good my grading skills are..........this will make the 13th Example if you send it in to our host. I would say crack it out first. That grade maybe because of the die and again the price guide is whacked and so are the points for the registry. But to me its a Coin only a True Collector Could Love...........Enjoy tom It was 2012 ebay MS 64 sold for 200 If you put Goiter quarter in google it has a bunch of cool links............

It is called a goiter because whatever caused the die state, it has given GW the appearance of having a medical condition you don't see much today called a goiter, where the larynx or thyroid or some such in the neck swells.

Thanks for the info. You need to post a pick side by side of two high grade examples of the 43S. One normal business strike and one Goiter.
The difference is dramatic. That's why I sent this one a few years ago. I would crack it out and send it in the PCGS if the attribute "Goiter neck" on the label.

Cool find.... and scarce. Cheers, RickO

Actually, in third world, it is still a problem.

There are villages in India where food is very scarce, so they eat lots of cabbage (easy to grow==cheap eats). Cabbage and other cruxiferous veggies are diuretic. The excess urination depletes the bodies iodine reserves and VIOLA you have a village where goiter is common.

Well,

I am lucky I remember Washington was telling the truth when he cut down a cherry tree with his wooden teeth and threw it across the Potomac on Christmas to a Hess gas station. That is that happened, isn't it?

Thanks,
