1932 d quarter

I found this in a river. Silver, weighs 6.25 grams, diameter 24.11mm, thickness 1.56mm. It has die chip errors, the date was stamped 3 times, the mint mark is not glued on but yet doesn't sit in a depression. Could that be another error? Is the coin real or fake?

I'd say it's a fake from the pictures but take it to a coin shop or two and get a couple in person opinion's before spending money on authentication and, the only way you are going to get decent value for it is having it certified. There's a whole lot of fakes out there. Date and mint mark look wrong on it as if theyve been worked.
It's likely a silver quarter, might even be a 1932D that someone worked on heavily trying to make it better and ruined it...
There's a lot that looks wrong here to me.

 

Looks fake to me.

 

Well I'm no expert on quarters but it appears to me to be real, it has DDD also die chips I don't see any reason for this coin to be faked. Jmo

 

Muzzman, were you the one to clean it to see it's details after it was in the river for a while?
The 2 looks different but i'm really a novice. This pic of another 32D is from usacoins.
Nice find!

 

Looks totally fake....especially the 32 . Here's A pic of real 1932-D from this site...

 

Agree - the date is a mess, sorry.

 

If it were to be faked, what original date quarter would they use, or does it look like the date was ground off and the 3 and 2 were added?
The D on the back is also suspect like the PO mentioned..

 

My thought is they trimmed a 1932 quarter on the 32 and used the extra metal to make the D on the reverse. But that's specualtion.
Like I said there is so much wrong here I cant confirm it's legit so I have to call it a fake.

 

I scrolled down slowly from the top of the coin and actually laughed out loud when I saw the date.

 

I think a real silver quarter, with a faked date

 

counterfeit coin

 

And back to the river it should go

 

FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE....

 

Another clue/red flag would be look at the toning on the date....it was left there to hide either the grinding of the 32 or the glue where the 32 was added.

 

No I didn't do anything with it. Cleaning coins hurts the value of them. It would be a good find if it's real. Thanks. Yeah the 2 looks different but I don't know if it's because of it being struck 3 times. That's why I'm here with it. I took it to a place and they looked it over and said nice find. A key date and offered to buy it. I told them that I wasn't ready to sell it not knowing anything about it.

 

Its bad, the date is crudely faked.

 

Even without looking at the date you can tell it isn't a 1932, Compare the IGWT to the real 32 posted by spirityoda. Note the strength of the motto and the height of the center point of the W.
