<p>[QUOTE="Vegas Vic, post: 1989958, member: 58810"]It's all semantics. I'm not saying anything negative about your purchase. But I don't think that the dealer pulled you aside and told anyone that they were intentionally selling a thousand dollar coin for a hundred dollars. The dealer didn't know better. Had someone pointed it out to him he would have very likely changed the price. Ask the guy after he sells the coin how he feels and a likely answer would be "I made a mistake" thus dealer error. It was not intentional. He didn't sell you a pcgs common date ms65 Morgan for $50.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have no problem with cherry picking. Pick away. I guess I will refine my opinion to "I don't see very many intentional deals at shows" that's great if a collector can capitalize on a dealer mistake.</p><p>I'm not going to study coins to the point where I have the knowledge base to catch dealer mistakes/cherry pick.

I enjoy them greatly as a hobby. I'll go to a show once or twice a year. Personally I will make more money per hour on the job then studying coins for cherry picking. I understand some study and cherry pick as more of a hobby then money making pursuit. I have nothing against this either.
