[QUOTE="kanga, post: 1516700, member: 9270"]I went to this year's ANA Seminars. Two weeks: Grading 1 and Grading 2. [OT: Two weeks may be too much. I think it was for me.] A moral issue question arose in the course of one of the seminars, just as an aside. So I asked one of the instructors off to the side about the following: Several years back I bought an 1858 FE from MFD slabbed AU-something. A couple years later I got a Cherrypickers guide and for GP's went through my collection. It turned out to be an 1858/7. So the coin went from about $150 to $1000+. And MFD knew since I sold it back to him for the new price. This had been gnawing at me ever since. The seminar instructor left the decision up to me but suggested it would be right if I split my windfall with my dealer. So in paying for a recent purchase from him I added $500. MFD has treated me VERY well over the years. He hand-picks IHCs for me and charges only 10% over his cost generally rounding down and sometimes absorbing S&H if that's involved. I think I did the right thing.[/QUOTE]
