<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tartanhill, post: 3274442, member: 93472&quot;]I have a question about the responsibility/liability of an auction house when they sell an ancient coin that has been smoothed or tooled and they do not point that fact out in their description.&nbsp; Some auction houses make a point of noting that a coin has been manipulated in some way to make it more attractive; some do not.&nbsp; If I buy a coin at auction and no mention is made of smoothing or tooling and I then try to have it graded by a TPG service, what if it comes back with a note that it has been smoothed or tooled?&nbsp; It is obviously worth less with that notation.&nbsp; Is there any recourse as far as the responsibility of the auction house I bought it from for not disclosing a complete and honest description?&nbsp; Shouldn&#039;t they be aware that a coin has been manipulated?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
