<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 3309721, member: 44316&quot;]I don&#039;t see any tooling.&nbsp; The OP coin looks genuine to me. The second picture (obverse only) makes it look polished or rubbed after the first picture (both sides) was taken. What has happened to the nice toning of the first picture? Did you &quot;clean&quot; it? If the toned picture was taken first and the second picture followed some cleaning, the cleaning was, in my opinion, a mistake. </p><p><br /></p><p>For all of you lurkers: Don&#039;t rub, polish, or clean nice coins to make them &quot;better&quot; (unless you a very experienced collector and know what you are doing). Almost every attempt to clean already-nice coins makes them worse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
