Idiot! I suppose it's somewhat encouraging that the site was last updated in October, 1996.

Very interesting. I found it very educational.

Yes, I saw that the other day too. Looks more like a tongue in cheek site to me. All of his "recipes" seem to produce average to ugly colors. Interesting though.

Neat web-site for educatioal purposes, I reckon.

Sort of like Network Administrators who hack against their own networks. I think its a great resource!

Found some quotes there that rings too true lately. Has he been reading these forums?:

When a fellow says it ain't the money but the principle of the thing, it's the money.
- Kin Hubbard

The victor will never be asked if he told the truth.
- Adolf Hitler

The hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who in time of great moral crises maintain their neutrality.
- Dante

Statistics are like a bikini. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital.
- Aaron Levenstein

Many of the truths we cling to depend greatly upon our own point of view.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi in "Return of the Jedi"

Where all men think alike, no one thinks very much.
- Walter Lippmann

Better Numismatics through Chemistry
- Anonymous

And my absolute favorite:

Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it.
- André Gide

I love it, very helpful here is the thing i found most interesting

<< Dear Coin Doctor, >>

<< I tried last month's recommendation in your article titled "Bringing the Color Out at Home," but something seems to have gone terribly wrong. It appears that my MS-62, shot-64 three-legger is now welded to my mother's night table lamp. I followed your instructions to the letter, making sure I applied only a light coating of hepatitus virus, but it all exploded when I turned on the switch. Now the lamp and my nickel are one, and mom is complaining that it's so dim in the room that she can't even see the boils on her knees. What should I do? Please help me. >>

<< Dear Burned and Blinded, >>

<< Sorry 'bout that. Unfortunately, from your description, I'd say the three-legger is a goner. You might trying soaking the lamp-socket in Genoan olive oil for 7 weeks, then gently pry the coin from the socket with a pair of pliers. If your Buff isn't too badly fried, it may be a candidate for re-engraving. (See pg. 1377 of our book on that subject). Meanwhile, better luck next time. Oh yeah, we suggest you get the old broad a new lamp. >>

That is actually a MASSIVE site. Anyone know who he is? There is a TON of content if you drop out to http://www.coinsite.com and wade in from there.

What's interesting is that I posted this link across the street and the admin removed the post. She said she didn't want to encourage people to try those things. I understood her point of view. But it makes me curious why it's allowed here? Also, with all the vitriol regarding coin doctors, I would have thought this thread would generate more interest?

MadMarty · February 22, 2003 9:39PM

<< 4) Coat a coin with corn oil, and bake inside a foil wrapped baked potato. A purplish-blue, or orange color will result. >>

Hey Frank, I know what we did wrong, we forgot the coin oil and the tin foil!!! No one told us we shouldn't just stick the coin in the potato!!!

dwood · February 22, 2003 9:43PM

nwcs,
I think this particular page of that site (which as I've already pointed out is a massive site, with tons of good information) could be controversial to anyone with a short-sighted mindset. In the computer industry, we constantly hack our own systems in an effort to make them better. We get the information, and learn the latest tactics, from hackers themselves (and most of the really valuable information comes from hacker's websites). Almost all of the "network sniffers" in use today are programs originally designed by hackers to seek out weakness and vulnerability. Though their intentions were nefarious, their work has ultimately been more beneficial than harmful.

The network administrator who thinks his network is impervious to attack and the collector who thinks AT can and will always be detectable have something in common:

They are the very definition of naiive, and they are merely waiting on the inevitable fall.

I'm glad this was posted. It is extremely useful.
