<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 640508, member: 15309&quot;]Rigo,</p><p><br /></p><p>Some of the people who are getting ripped off fall should fall under the &quot;caveat emptor&quot; umbrella IMO.&nbsp; People buy coins and don&#039;t know the first thing about them.&nbsp; Most AT coins are obvious and low grade crap that can easily be avoided with some basic coin knowledge.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for collectors wanting NT coins, I understand the desire, but it really is an effort in futility.&nbsp; Doug has pointed out on more occasions than I can count that it is impossible to determine the originality of the toning on some coins.&nbsp; Let me say that again, it is impossible to determine the originality of the toning on some coins.&nbsp; In other words, you won&#039;t be able to tell, I won&#039;t be able to tell, and the expert graders at PCGS &amp; NGC wont be able to tell.&nbsp; It is kind of like those old commercials, is it real or is it Memorex.&nbsp; For these beautiful coins, you have to accept the possibility that even though they might be NT, they could very easily be AT.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with the philosophy that eye appealing AT coins are acceptable, becuase you won&#039;t be able to identify them as AT.&nbsp; As for your statement about an AT coin never having eye appeal, I would like you to prove it.&nbsp; Please tell which of the following war nickels you find unattractive.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickel%20Registry/TheAtlanticCitySetofJeffersonNic-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, This is a trap.&nbsp; You know there is an AT coin in the group, but can you identifiy it?&nbsp; If not, feel free to say they are all attractive, you won&#039;t hurt my feelings!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>PS: In answer to your original question, I do not know any coin doctors.</p><p><br /></p><p>Paul[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
