<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 1712308, member: 18157&quot;]All excellent questions, but they&#039;re a bit divergent from the question posed by the OP. I would say that, in a face-to-face deal, both parties should divulge all information they know (or suspect) about the coin...in advance. Once the deal is concluded, that&#039;s it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Remember, this is a question of &quot;ethics&quot;, not law. If you wander into a flea market and see a $500 VAM in the junk silver pile, how you decide to proceed is entirely a personal matter. The same is true with online auctions, sniping, etc...if you can live with your decision and you&#039;re not breaking any laws...there&#039;s nothing that says you shouldn&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>The OP&#039;s question was about selling a collection to a trusted Dealer. If I were that Dealer, I would feel obligated to inform the Seller (who probably knows much less about Numismatics than I) that the coin was improperly slabbed. If I didn&#039;t discover the slab error until after deal was complete, I would feel my &quot;ethical&quot; duty was complete. </p><p><br /></p><p>However, should I go a step further and reopen negotiations with the new information once it&#039;s discovered? ...I would like to think I would. If I&#039;m running a reputable business and expect my clients to trust me, I would want to be worthy of that trust.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
