Disclaimer: Hi, I'm some beginner that basically knows jack about coins. 
Why is it that every time I turn around I see some doctored, dipped or whizzed coin when collectors obviously want "original" coins. Sure, eye appeal is important but aren't these sellers limiting their market to the ignorant? Also, every coin that gets doctored means one less coin worth collecting in the world. Doesn't it hurt the coin market when these doctored coins can't be resold?
The doctors must be making a VERY hefty profit by purchasing average, fairly ugly coins and prettying them up. Shame on them!
OHHH!! Shiny!
OHHH!! Rainbow toning!
