    Even with the potential for a big letdown, being number two in line is much better than not being in line at all.

    As well, people have been known to enjoy the opportunity to view coins even if they never have a chance to buy them.

    Some people, anyway. ;)

    To me, it seems like Weiss was the leverage for the dealer to collect on an overdue balance.

    If the original sale takes place the dealer could put Mr. Weiss and the supposed buyer together. Original buyer flips for a profit and Mr. Weiss has his coin. Dealer kills two birds with one beautiful coin.

    Will the dealer give OP their cut of the commission for motivating the sale?

    Why should he? It sounds as if the dealer could have sold the coin for more, by simply selling it to the OP.

    If he wanted to, he would have. OP is the reason coin wasn't sitting for another x+ months.
