[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 3572731, member: 10461"]What do you think on this coin? It meets my criteria for eye appeal. Has a decent if not perfect flan. Nice portrait. Nice toning. It's a dated piece, which is one detail I wanted. Sharper detail than I'm used to seeing in the hair and on the queen's clothing. That last bit concerns me slightly, though. Was the bodice and/or some of the hair detail possibly "helped"; i.e., enhanced by tooling? I can't tell. What do you think? It is up for sale by a very reputable firm (many of you will deduce where), and there is no mention of any kind of tooling in the description, so... ? [SIZE=3] Maybe I'm just overly suspicious...[/SIZE] [IMG]https://www.numisbids.com/sales/hosted/cng/e/446/image00591.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
