Nice NGC Graded 1936 S - I mean Ooops - 1936 D? Half

#1 Unread post by Funky Strike »

Hello gang - Funkmeister back from another crazy hunt!

I got this coin today off eBay - got what I thought was a good price for a 1936S NGC GRADED!!! Walking Liberty Half

Then I flipped it over and it was actually a 1936D instead! (slight drop in the price by the way)

The grading companies strike again!

I know I can send this back to NGC and have them fix it - and I know it really doesn't add much value - but here we go again...

Also found it interesting that the original seller did NOT include a picture of the reverse! (probably why he sold it to me for such a low price)!

Back to the hunt - what a strange business!

Michael - The Funkmeister!

I've never seen this mistake before . . . They may have looked at it wrong somehow . . .

I agree with Paul. Not too hard to find when you start looking for it.
They may have looked at it wrong somehow . . .
I don't think I would want 8 hours days weekly of looking at small details on coins like this. They HAVE to get periods where their minds wander ...case in point.
