<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blaubart, post: 1711141, member: 37498&quot;]Not quite.&nbsp; As Medoraman explained above, if the coin is a matte proof, then it is a matte proof.&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t matter what the slab says.</p><p><br /></p><p>To make it a little more obvious, what if I send a Chuck-E-Cheese token in for grading and it comes back in a slab identified as a 1925 Standing Liberty Quarter.&nbsp; The coin, obviously, is not a 1925 Standing Liberty Quarter, no matter what the TPG said.</p><p><br /></p><p>For me, there isn&#039;t any question as to what I would do.&nbsp; I would call the seller and inform him of my discovery before resubmitting or selling it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s an explanation of why I think this is the right thing to do.&nbsp; I work on computers.&nbsp; I sometimes do a little work on the side, mostly volunteer work.&nbsp; Let&#039;s say I was working on someone&#039;s computer and incorrectly identified a hardware fault as being the motherboard and advised the owner that it would not be cost effective to repair.&nbsp; They order a new computer, when it gets in I do a data transfer, and they let me take the old computer for recycling.&nbsp; When I get the computer home and start removing components I notice one of the memory DIMMs wasn&#039;t properly seated.&nbsp; I reseat the memory and the computer fires up just fine.&nbsp; Did I just &quot;cherry pick&quot; a computer?&nbsp; Is there no legal or ethical obligation to inform the previous owner?</p><p><br /></p><p>Same thing happened in this case.&nbsp; The dealer improperly identified a coin, or was lazy and relied on someone else&#039;s identification, and now wants to profit from it without informing the seller.&nbsp; Worse yet would be if he knew the coin was improperly identified during the sale.&nbsp; That would be like me knowing the memory was improperly seated and telling the owner it was a bad motherboard.&nbsp; IMHO that would be nothing short of fraud.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
