<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 3275569, member: 86498&quot;]In ancient coins tooling is generally restricted to Roman sestertii as well as bronze coins of Pantikapaion as well as the Kingdom of the Bosporus. There are probably other areas as well such as the aes coins of Greek Sicily. With Roman sestertii, the problem is the greatest in the first two centuries and less so in the third. The problem increases with rare emperors and those coins with desirable reverses. Tooling has been going on for over 400 years, and so some of these coins may have the patina that comes with age. My main problem with the craft is that they may damage or modify what was actually on the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
