<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 3673349, member: 44316&quot;]This is true. I bought one of the OP type in 1978 for $350&nbsp; from a dealer near Cleveland, Ohio. That was a lot of money, by far my most expensive coin at the time, but I had a portrait of Julius Caesar! After a while (I don&#039;t recall how long, two years?) I learned enough (learning was much harder in those days with no CT to help) to figure out it was tooled. I grew to dislike it, and finally decided, with some trepidation, that I would contact the dealer and ask for a refund. I did, I returned the coin, and I got the refund. Whew!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Many years later I got a very worn Julius Caesar portrait denarius to finally have a portrait of his again. As Doug noted, the OP sestertius type is often tooled and I never did try to replace my early purchase with another sestertius of that type.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
