It is not a genuine coin, it's a reproduction.
Matt - there really is no answer. Read this entire thread. What is said in this thread pretty much covers it all.
I could be wrong but the '32 has many characteristics of a cast fake. Have you weighed the coin ?
Short of contacting Reader's Digest I doubt we'll ever know for sure but I have always suspected that the reason was the rarity of the coin. Very...
Then it's time you went to another one Kevin ;) It doesn't even have to be a major one for at pretty much any coin show now a days you are likely...

Well it's more than just the pictures themselves that make me think it's been over-dipped. Look closely at the recesses and protected areas - see...
Happy now ?
I suspect that's because there is little to none left. The coin appears to have been over-dipped.
No PVC. Think of them as being more like non PVC flips - pliable but not that pliable.
I don't think it's an SMS and as for the grade I'd say 64. Too many contact marks to go any higher.
