My local guy- I tell him that I am cherry picking him... My guy has a set profit margin and that is what he operates under- If the coin is worth more I tell him or if it is a variety I tell him... He always laughs when I tell him that it is a variety or something... He then says "What does that mean? More money for me?" He is a good guy!

I think it's good to help a dealer out with a nice variety find every once in a while... do that a few times, and you'd be surprised at what they let you look at, and how little they care about most of the varieties you find, no matter how valuable.

Was that after you bought the item from him or before?
