[QUOTE="IdesOfMarch01, post: 1913539, member: 39084"]Absolutely agree with your observations here -- plus the almost-horizontal line delineating the hair behind the ears also appears to be a re-engraving. The reverse appears to be untouched except for normal smoothing. Even if the green patina is artificially enhanced, that's nowhere nearly as bothersome as the tooling. Inasmuch as all the devices are intact and have sufficient relief to stand out, it's too bad that the obverse has been worked. It's a nice portrait and reverse.[/QUOTE]
