Or how I hoped to turn lemons into lemonade and came away with just a sour taste in my mouth.

Well, to make a long story short, I purchased a 1943-D MS63 Walking Liberty Half back in October or November which I thought was NGC graded. It turns out, I did not pay enough attention to the EbaY AD (I think I have Numismatic ADD) and got an ANACS MS63 1943-D instead. Okay, thats the lemon. So, I decided to unslab the sucker, send it to NGC and get it reslabbed as an NGC 1943-D Walking Liberty. It finally came back today after its 11 week turnaround. Came back as UNC DETAILS. AHHHHHHHHHH!!!! I hate Details!!! But, it is my fault in the first place and I have to learn to always pay attention when I buy anything on line. So no lemonade, just a mouthful of seeds to spit out.

I do have an enduring belief that there is often a very fine line between MS63 and UNC Details. The coin looks great to me, I would have never known some cheesehead dipped it (or did they?).

Go Steelers!!!
