The luster on this issue is excellent with a thick, frosty texture seen on virtually all survivors. The coloration is very distinctive with vivid yellow-gold or green-gold and rose hues. Many 1930-S Indian Head Eagles have small copper spots and these are not considered detracting unless they are extensive or positioned in a prominent viewing spot.

The eye appeal on this date is very good and nearly every known example shows excellent color and luster. Excessive bagmarks can be a problem with this issue but if a collector is patient, he should be able to find a very good looking piece for his set.

The 1932 Eagle is extremely common in the lower Uncirculated grades and can be found in MS64 and even MS65 without much effort. It becomes very rare in MS66 and it is exceedingly rare in MS67.
