<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cncman, post: 561355, member: 17256&quot;]Thats nice too, I would have bought it.&nbsp; There are a couple of problems with your retooled and AT theory, many other points are sharp on the coin, (at least according to the OP, but from what I can see too) so, not only would they have to retool the head, but the chainmail over the breast, the toes, the arm and elbow and that is just on the obverse. Why all that work for a relatively available FH coin? That kind of minute retooling would leave evidence of tool marks somewhere, plus there is no guarantee of what their AT would turn out to be. I am not good at all on toning but it appears natural to me. It all seems like too much work and too much of a gamble to be worth it to me. If they have that talent they would retool the head of one that would bring $20-30K. PLus we have to believe that the original owner, PCGS and the current owner missed AT and retooling on various parts of the coin. I have a hard time seeing that.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have seen other examples, but the problem is we can only look at pics at places like heritage, typically they would offer better strikes for the grade anyway, take a look at them at a coin show and you would see coins like this with dealers trying to sell the slab instead of the coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I can see why you would pass on that coin if you are used to looking at Ty1&#039;s! There is a world of difference in a TY1 where 70% are FH and later coins where 1-5% are FH. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Glad Bill came in so now I know who he is, I am sure I will pick his brain in the future.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
