[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 2518640, member: 13307"]Thinking from a long term strategy-based viewpoint, IMO the best option is as follows: (I am hypothetically the seller.) Call the buyer. Tell them that the failure to recognize the valuable variety was an oversight, and that the sale cannot be completed as a result...but offer the buyer (as a sort of finders fee of sorts) a significant (but not outrageous) portion of the proceeds when the coin is sold. At this point you are being honest with the buyer, which shows both a respect for them as a human being and for the business relationship between you and the ethics involved. You are also protecting your own financial survival. If buyer accepts this, you have hopefully rewarded someone in a meaningful way, all while being honest and fair. One would hope (if the find were significant enough) the buyer would be happy enough to spread the word of their expertise in cherry picking...and you can walk with your eyes off the pavement. Just my initial thoughts. And no offense taken...[/QUOTE]
