It is interesting that "thedockter" is selling what appear to be doctored coins.
It would appear "thedockter" studied proctology.
That's one UGLY coin!
Here it is before it was cracked and docktored

What a shame.
He may not break even on that one. I have been wrong before though.
He managed to ruin a D Carr coin. Oh, brother!
That story about the safe in the 200 year old pottery store is still working I guess...Unbelievable....Cheers, RickO

yes, the good doctor should have used better ventilation while working, just saying
I just saw a Barber Half listed for I think the 6th time now. It always hammers over 2K. Gotta wonder if the doctor is paying the ebay fees. If not a ban may be coming soon!
