  Depends how you ask. Dealers make deals. Perhaps the first buyer would give up the coin in exchange for compensation.
  
  A straight bribe to outright screw the original buyer? Yes, bad form.

  I like large size currency and silver dollars.

  What I have done in the past, on a couple of occasions, is offered the dealer to make an offer on my behalf to the person who just purchased the coin. If you are willing to pay considerably more than the previous guy, you might get the coin.

  This would absolutely be the best way to do it. A deal's a deal.

  Let's try not to get upset.

  If you really, really want a coin, I guess this is ok. But unless you know something that the dealer and first buyer don't, that sounds like a good way to get buried deeply.
