As discussed before, its bad enough this guy is lying about having found his coins in a 200 year old safe when he is clearly buying problem certified coins from Heritage and GC, cracking them out and than listing them without disclosing the known problems. He also cancels any sales to his winning bidders if he doesn't get enough money, but now, he is 'DOCTORING' coins........Last month, thedockter purchased an 1861 $20 Clark Gruber NGC-AU details with several severe scratches from GC:

In his effort to hide the scratches, he cracked the coin out, filed-down the obverse fields and than artificially toned the coin (must have learned from edynamicmarketing).....

I thought the moniker was revealing. In any event the coin screams problem coin even if you don't know much about these.
Horribly bad AT job.
(Oh, I'm sorry....must have been humidity in the 200 year old safe.)
Not so sure if its the same coin. Some of the gashes don't show up on both coins. The scratches appear a little different too. Maybe just the photography. Either way the raw coin looks like a disaster.

It’s the same coin. I hope no one gets fooled by these listings.
Same coin. There are identical matching marks on both coins.

I like the before picture better even though the scratches are more prevalent. The after photos look funky.
I'm curious to see where this ends up.
It'll be interesting to see what this coin finally sells for. I hope he loses a lot of money on this monstrosity.

Just another con job by this guy... 200 year old safe indeed....

Must have been a BIG safe. Wonder how long he will milk that story.
What a surprise. It's "the dockter" and with this bird anything is possible.
