I wouldn't refer to that fella as a Coin Doctor as much as I'd refer to him as a backroom abortionist!
He has obviously "heard" some stuff and managed to put 2 and 2 together to come up with his detailed process of screwing up a coin. Granted none of the stuff he was working with was really worth anything except that 1943 korter. Might a been a DDO for all we know.
The clip wasn't even entertaining since his idea of a good looking coin is one you'd find attached to a leather belt. Definitely not a coin collector nor even a coin doctor since the latter's goal is to hopefully increase the value of a coin by making it look better than it really is.
I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
Its like watching the movie "SAW" for coins. He uses gravel and tumble them for 24 hours...like a torture chamber for coins. This guy is disgusting ...in his bathroom with those dirty finger nails.

I go along with the white vinegar and rubbing for cleaning dug nickels but the tumbling with rocks?.....no way....way too harsh.The doctor's coins all look like they have an extra ten years of wear on them from being in the tumbler for 24 hours.The method he is using is,in a word,inelegent.
I got good results using commonly available white vinegar for Jeffersons.Soak for a while and then rub with soft cloth.I'm soaking a dug Buffalo Nickel in vinegar (without a date) as we speak and finding that the brown is alot more stubborn on these probably because of more years for the corrosion process to occur while the coin is in the ground.
Acetic acid is the chemical in white vinegar that is responsible for the good result on the Jeffersons.Let the nickel soak for awhile then rub it with a cloth.Eventually the nickel will look fairly decent.
Dug Buffalo,V and Shield nickels will probably need treatment with stronger Acetic acid solution.I might order some Acetic acid from a chemical supply house.

luckily they were pretty much widgets to begin with.
Looking for Top Pop Mercury Dime Varieties & High Grade Mercury Dime Toners.
shines, but it is a dull shine.
it's not nearly as nice as an original shine.
pretty sure i watched him and his rock (aka coin) tumbler in action a few months ago

On a “positive” note
The "good" coins are only getting rarer as others are destroyed forever.
If every coin was as it left the mint this would be a very boring way to pass time.

It wasn't the most sterile labratory conditions, that's for certain. More a scientist than a doctor.
