Description
1932-D Washington Quarter, MS66
One of the Two Finest Certified
1932-D 25C MS66 CACG. The offering of this coin is far and
away one of the most important events that Washington quarter
collectors will experience. The 1932-D is widely known as the
scarcer of the two first-year keys, particularly in high grades,
but this landmark coin ranks with just one other as the finest
known. Its only rival is another MS66 coin at PCGS. At one point
years ago, an MS66 NGC coin was reported, but it no longer appears
on the NGC Census.The other PCGS coin has only appeared at auction three times, and the collecting fervor it has generated each time has been worth keeping for the record books. Its first offering was in our August 2001 ANA Signature sale where it realized an incredible $89,125. Later, it appeared in Bowers and Merena's April 2008 Chicago Rarities Sale and garnered a staggering bid of $143,750, a record price for any Washington quarter. Most recently, it was in our 2018 FUN Signature.
This magnificent, recently certified counterpart to the aforementioned example is here making its second appearance, having previously appeared in our auctions in 2015, when it was in a PCGS holder of the same grade. The Registry Set boost that this coin would provide is unequaled. The other PCGS MS66 coin currently resides in the D.L. Hansen Registry Set.
This piece exhibits delicate, largely flawless satin surfaces with original luster residing beneath a thin veil of pale pastel toning. Only a microscopic tick hidden in Washington's hair is at all worthy of mention, even if only for the sake of accuracy. The design elements are boldly rendered and the overall eye appeal is excellent. The 1932-D is the biggest key date in the entire Washington quarter series, and this magnificent coin is well-deserving of the title: "King of the Washington Quarters." Given the previous track record of the issue in this unsurpassed grade, we anticipate a truly exciting event when this coin crosses the auction block.
