Does this obverse look right, or funny business ?

I came across this coin for sale in an auction and would like to know what you all think, especially the obverse does not look right to me having seen quite a few of this type Julia Domna's hair usually looks a lot different, any opinions?

It’s been heavily tooled.

That is my thought as well.

 

I should have considered tooling. By comparing the shapes of the devices to my worn examples, I was falsely reassured by the apparent die-match.

Thanks, @Barry Murphy , for the lesson.

 

Was it in a certain auction from yesterday that had many tooled examples that went unmentioned by the auction house?

 

I think that auction's 'restoration professional' wishes theirs looked this good...

 

Lettering is a dead giveaway to the tooling.

 

I'ts in an upcoming auction, by a usually competent auction house.

Tooled and smoothed

 

To Numismatic Naumann's credit they have withdrawn the coin from the auction.
