Important Gem 1932-D Washington Quarter

1932-D 25C MS65 PCGS. A side-by-side comparison of 1932-D and 1932-S survivors, as recorded in the PCGS Population Report, reveals higher populations for the Denver issue in grades through AU55. In near-Mint and finer, however, the San Francisco issue appears in greater numbers. Many reasons have been put forth as to why the 1932-D has fewer Mint State examples known, and while it is impossible to answer the question definitively, the demographics of the communities served by Denver, largely small towns without significant populations of numismatists, contrast with the comparatively large cities of California.
This example has strong luster and above-average eye appeal. A degree of hazy gold, violet, and blue patina graces each side, and aside from a few trivial marks on the portrait, the devices are exceptionally clean. One of the best-preserved pieces available on the market; PCGS has graded only one coin finer (1/07).(Registry values: N1793)
