<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Andrew McCabe, post: 3238268, member: 90666&quot;]I do not think the sextans is heavily tooled. I know the design and style of dies pretty well. I don&#039;t see alterations to the design. Essentially every detail is more or less as it should be and the IC before prow is where and how it should be as are the design features and style of prow etc. Nor do I see the steps at the edge of devices or caverns around letters that would indicate tooling.</p><p><br /></p><p>what has happened is the coin has been cleaned way to much, with the surfaces essentially polished smooth. This however is generally called smoothing. I&#039;d prefer a less-cleaned coin that hasn&#039;t been smoothed but don&#039;t think it&#039;s tooled.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
