[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 2542448, member: 307"]Two things strike me immediately. 1) The coin is a higher grade and since it is NOT slabbed, I would be more wary of an unacceptable cleaning in the past. (luster is hard to tell from the pics) 2) On a genuine 1932-D the mint mark has some very specific characteristics. It should look like it is sunk into an impression or pool, and it should have a triangular center (exactly the same as a 1916-D Mercury Dime, it was the same punch.) I would examine the mint mark carefully and if you need, take a few close-ups of it and post them here. You're sure to get some help. The luster is an important part of this coin as it plays heavily in grade at this level. If it is washed out, the coin has been harshly cleaned and will be deemed a problem coin, in which case I would pass unless it is a real bargain.[/QUOTE]
