<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fugio1, post: 7539336, member: 89970&quot;]In my opinion, broad field smoothing or tooling should always be mentioned, especially on silver coins.&nbsp; In this case, the &quot;smoothing&quot; is probably cleaning marks but nevertheless, it is artificial improvement and you will see it every time you look at the coin in your collection.&nbsp; I have returned silver coins for the same reason, even one I bought at a coin show that had been toned over to hide the cleaning marks.&nbsp; It was my fault, I didn&#039;t look at the coin under a loupe but the lighting at the coin show also hid the directional marks.&nbsp; The dealer said he didn&#039;t agree with my assessment but accepted the return with no further comment.&nbsp; Not all dealers are willing to do so but most will.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
