<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 8448774, member: 24754&quot;]I purchased a handful of coins (5 I think) from FR auctions a number of years ago, sent them in to NGC, and all but 1 came back in &quot;Tooled&quot; body bags.</p><p><br /></p><p>The one that was slabbed managed to only get a &quot;Smoothing&quot; designation.

However, if you are purchasing early bronzes and intend to get them into slabs, then my aggravating experience might be worth taking into consideration.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
