Now, people make mistakes and sometimes it's perfectly reasonable to do someone a solid by pointing one out, but in a case like this where he was again able to examine the coin? Clear conscience. No reasonable individual can expect someone holding a yard sale to be an expert or even remotely familiar with what they're selling. In a case like this where one isn't attempting to enter into or benefit from the retail market, nor are they presenting themselves as a professional, one should kindly inform them imo.[/QUOTE]
