[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 1415509, member: 15309"]Actually, that concave depression is the diagnostic for a genuine 1932-S Washington Quarter. From the PCGS THE OFFICIAL GUIDE TO COIN GRADING AND COUNTERFEIT DETECTION: The mint mark should square and boxy with the serifs parallel to each other which this appears to be. The other diagnostic is a die scratch above the D in DOLLAR. The photo is a little to fuzzy to tell for sure, but there looks like there might be a die scratch there. Again, the die scratch does not appear on all 1932-S quarters, but if it does appear, the coin is genuine. Here is a photo of the mint mark of my 1932-S Washington Quarter. Notice a similar depression as your coin. [IMG]http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Washington%20Quarters/WQ1932-SBUMintMark.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
