[QUOTE="windwalker, post: 1714752, member: 38923"]First off, I haven't read all the postings for this thread so if I'm repeating a position please forgive. First off, from the op he sold a graded coin to a dealer that he has a relationship with and that both sides know that the poster has additional coins that he will be sell either through or to the dealer for his resale. The opening poster knows that he made a serious mistake, but since the coin was graded the variation was most likely found after the coin was graded. Hence the problem. Intellectually the coin was not as graded as the dealer found out later. I am not sure how the opening poster found out about the mistake (either from the dealer or 2nd hand from someone else). If the poster found out 2nd hand he has a right to be upset (as would I). If the dealer told him, then some sort of accomodation should be arrived at. Especially if the dealer would hope of getting other coins from me (assuming that I made the mistake). Failing an accomodation from the dealer, no further business would be done with the dealer as far a selling coins to or through him. I asked I would tell him just why he is no more coins from me. As far as purchases from the dealer that would be on a coin by coin basis. If I purchased a coin from someone I didn't know and found a cherry picker I'd be mum about it. However, it if was from a friend I would mention it to him so that he could be aware for future coins coming into his possession. Would I upgrade the sales price by a factor it would depend. Good friend yes. So in answer to the op's question, I would expect to be compensated somewhat for a lesser graded or valued coin. Full extent no. Failing that the dealer would not be getting any more coins from me for sale on consignment or purchase. And it would be deal breaker for future business. This is my opinion.[/QUOTE]
