Veeery interesting! Based on one name, I am pretty sure I know too. Laura S. got a vitriolic, late-night call from another coin doctor (I can guess who, based on my interaction with him at the Summer Seminar)?

Walker Proof Digital Album Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
I also have a list of the 78, no make that 223, government officials who are Communists, sympathizers, fellow-travelers or otherwise members of an international conspiracy to destroy the capitalist system

CJ, You truly are the master of 'numisnark' (numismatic snide remark). Your posts usually bring a smile to my face, or at least a snicker. Carry on, sir!

Disagree. No financial incentive during those years.
In the early days, doctoring was less subtle and generally targeted rarer coins. Think of cyanided copper, burnished and/or tooled early type and pioneer gold, plugged and re-engraved whatever, etc. But you're right in the sense that there was not much of an incentive to hide a few hairlines on a proof type coin, etc.

No mentors
There are people who have made a significant contribution to the hobby- but that seems to me to be a different question
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

Interesting choices for numismatic heroes, or is that mentors?

Bob Rose- The guy would give you the shirt off his back (as long as there was no coin in the pocket
Harvey Stack- For years of good advice
Ed Hipps Sr.- For being on the bourse floor at 80!

Yes, the 1930's and 1940's CD's would have increased that number dramatically...
Add in from 1950 on, and well, you get the idea.

Hmmm. I wasn't even considering anyone in the pre-1970 era. I might need to break out my abacus, or at least take off my shoes and socks.
