[QUOTE="Lord Geoff, post: 1828633, member: 42001"]The point, which I believe others have brought up, is that the dealers are not being "punished". They just missed out on an opportunity to capitalize. I know I have read older threads where multiple dealers have said, or have been quoted as saying "It isn't worth my time to check the silver I buy for varieties anyhow, so customers are welcome to it." In my opinion, anyone who buys and sells coins has absolutely no leg to stand on if a customer notices something they don't and capitalizes. The dealer still bought and sold at prices they were comfortable with. As has been mentioned before, it is a different situation if there is an obvious mistake. I'm probably more inclined than most that, depending on the mistake (how obvious and the difference in $), the customer does not have an obligation to point it out. Goodwill created with the store, etc. is another question.[/QUOTE]
