[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 286805, member: 112"]It's not that I am a purist - far from it.

Most often people will eventually upgrade their hole fillers - and then what happens to the Nic-A-Date coins ? They sell them. And who buys these coins now ? Most often it will either be a novice whpo has no idea about how to indentify an acid treated coin or an unscrupulous seller who wishes to sell them to a novice who doesn't know any better. That's why I don't like them or the product.
