<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KenKat, post: 1107635, member: 28029&quot;]I guess I am in the minority in that I wouldn&#039;t call this coin doctoring, I&#039;d call it coin repair.&nbsp; As far as being scary, not knowing the full history of the coin, there&#039;s no way to know if there was an attempt to deceive or not.&nbsp; It IS in a slab that fully discloses the issue.&nbsp; It is at least a possibility that the repair was done many many years ago rather than recently and with the intent to &quot;correct&quot; a past wrong.&nbsp; Because once the coin has been holed, the damage is done.&nbsp; At that point, it can be left holed or plugged.&nbsp; For a historically important and rare coin, as long as it is disclosed, I&#039;d probably rather have a plugged coin than a holed one, although I do realize this opens up the possibility of the coin trying to be passed off as undamaged in the future. That&#039;s probably the concern - but it is still genuine after all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
