<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2395170, member: 24314&quot;]Here is the problem:&nbsp; As I wrote before, I have seen a process that turned a red-brown IHC into red after two tries.&nbsp; I KNOW WHAT RED UNC INDIANS LOOK LIKE.&nbsp; Some posters around here are probably in their 80&#039;s.&nbsp; Red Indians were &quot;chump change&quot; in the old days (way before coin doctors).&nbsp; The electrolytic process <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255)">I saw then </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">is probably &quot;cave-man stuff&quot; now.&nbsp; Nevertheless, it was simple chemistry.&nbsp; There is enough info out there that with research, coins, equipment , <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255)">time and experimentation</span> anyone can probably do it.&nbsp; One dealer I know learned how to doctor proof IHC coins (in two months and got them slabbed at a huge profit <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255)">using very little LOW TECH stuff in his coin shop bathroom!&nbsp; The coins are slabbed now while he does others.&nbsp; </span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Now, I&#039;ll ask you to consider two things.&nbsp; Why in the world would he share his method with you?&nbsp; Did you burn the midnight oil?&nbsp; Did you contribute anything?&nbsp; Does anyone around here care about you or your challenge?</span> The answer comes easy <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; (I&#039;m not the dealer)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And now the philosophical question that has probably been discussed here many, many times before I ever heard of CT: What&#039;s the harm?&nbsp; If someone can restore/improve the eye appeal &amp; value of a coin in such a way that professional dealers like it/cannot detect anything unnatural/and will fight each other to by it - <span style="color: rgb(179, 0, 179)">BINGO.&nbsp; </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Now everyone is happy.&nbsp; The small-time dealer is now a rapidly getting rich, new &quot;coin doctor&quot;.&nbsp; He&#039;s happy.&nbsp; The grading service is getting nice coins to grade.&nbsp; They&#039;re happy.&nbsp; The sellers are happy and the &quot;registry set&quot; collectors/investors are happy.&nbsp; </span><span style="color: rgb(179, 0, 179)">The world of numismatics keeps turning and no one cares about philosophy.</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"> So &quot;suckers&quot; like all of us and talk or write our heads off and nothing will change. </span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here is another one while you are at it.&nbsp; In our lifetime we have seen virtually undetectable counterfeits.&nbsp; Would you like to hold a beautiful 1796 dollar that was so nice looking it was slabbed or auctioned for a few thousand dollars.&nbsp; Would you pay $185 to fill a type set hole?&nbsp; No brainer...&nbsp;&nbsp; We all seek the genuine example - THAT&#039;S ONE REASON THERE IS A MARKET FOR FAKES.&nbsp; Perhaps you should challenge them to show you how they do things.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It can be done.&nbsp; The coin will turn <span style="color: rgb(179, 0, 179)">PINK.</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">&nbsp; Now the &quot;trick&quot; is to make it LOOK natural again - in days or weeks NOT YEARS.&nbsp; The answer is in books.&nbsp; In fact, I just read one members post a few days ago that revealed one method that actually works.&nbsp; And sorry, I don&#039;t think anyone will tell you for the same reasons above.&nbsp; They make money doing it, it took research and experimentation, and you did not help.&nbsp; </span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">PS&nbsp; There is a selfish reason I need/try to learn about the things the &quot;coin doctors&quot; do.&nbsp; That said, I try them out (not the Proof IHC as yet!) to verify and learn but I don&#039;t do it to sell coins.&nbsp; </span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">&nbsp; </span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
