<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1506509, member: 112&quot;]Based on your pic it kinda looks like an RPM. Problem is, there are no known or listed RPMs or other mint varieties for the &#039;32 Washington.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, he doesn&#039;t really post here anymore because he has taken a hiatus from coins, but the person who started this thread, Speedy, believed he had found evidence to the contrary. Problem was Speedy was a young kid, this all happened several years ago, and as often happens a lot of people are not willing to pay attention to young kids or what they say. </p><p><br /></p><p>Speedy believed he had found evidence of several different mint mark varieties for the &#039;32-S Washington. He sent pics to several of the leading authorities asking their opinions. He got nowhere and was basically ignored. So he turned to me. Based on the pictures I was inclined to agree with him, that he had found evidence of several different mint mark varieties for the &#039;32-S. So, over time, Speedy wrote a pretty good article on the subject. I then helped him contact the editors of the various coin magazines and he tried to get his article published. But without exception, they all refused to publish it.</p><p><br /></p><p>You see, the books we have all say that the &#039;32-S was struck using only 1 die. Therefore there could not be any mint mark varieties. And since Speedy was a young kid, he was ignored. The subject has never gone anywhere since then.</p><p><br /></p><p>I figure one of these days one of the experts will run across one of these coins with the mm variety, write up a story get it published and it will be a big deal. I hope they do, because I still have the original article that Speedy wrote on the subject and all of his pictures from years ago. That should go over well <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, as to your coin, what I would do is send it in to CONECA, have them identify, attribute, and confirm it either is or is not a RPM. If it is, then you have the first.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
