<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2532108, member: 19250&quot;]Tooling can mean several things casting marks, the fact that someone used some sort of tool to alter the coin in any way. Enhancements , reworking details, in coin collecting&nbsp; you&#039;ll&nbsp; find there are many ways to doctor coins. Toning, trying to hid a cleaning, Or repair.</p><p>One of my pet peeves&nbsp; is sellers who try and sell coins or set that may or may not contain&nbsp; a key&nbsp; coin. Mostly advertised as unopened&nbsp; GSA dollars, mint set years that again may or may not contain&nbsp; a valuable&nbsp; variety .</p><p>That&#039;s&nbsp; why&nbsp; when you&#039;re&nbsp; making a purchase&nbsp; of a rare coin it&#039;s&nbsp; best to do your homework&nbsp; first,rather than&nbsp; be out hundreds&nbsp; or thousands&nbsp; of dollars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
