1932 Head Eagle – Eye Appeal, Popularity & High-Grade Rarity
The 1932 Indian Head Eagle has good eye appeal except for the fact that most examples are seen with deep, detracting cuts at the central obverse and reverse. Any example with good color and luster which does not show these marks is very scarce and extremely desirable.
Because of its availability in higher grades, the 1932 (along with the 1926) tends to be the single most popular date of this design with type collectors.
The 1932 Indian Head 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.
