<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 3275136, member: 76086&quot;]Its a disturbing trend in the world of ancient coin collecting.&nbsp; Smoothing has always been somewhat accepted, but tooling was not.&nbsp; However things change.&nbsp; Tooling is now very common just about everywhere and most major auction houses have sold them.&nbsp; I do not.&nbsp; In find them unacceptable.&nbsp; So, will an auction house take one back?&nbsp; One will never know until they try to return one.&nbsp; In all my years I have only bought one tooled coin, but I knew what it was when I bid on the lot.&nbsp; The best way around the situation is to ask each auction house what they would do in the situation.&nbsp; If they wont take a tooled coin back, dont bid.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
