<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IdesOfMarch01, post: 1681958, member: 39084&quot;]I greatly admire your decision and willingness to point out the possibility of tooling when you list this coin for auction.&nbsp; That&#039;s rare on EBay and would, I think, give you more credibility as a reputable seller.</p><p><br /></p><p>As noted above, smoothing is certainly less of an issue since most Roman bronzes show some degree of smoothing; this is perfectly acceptable to most/all levels of collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>One other item is the amazing roundness of this coin -- an almost perfect circle.&nbsp; This doesn&#039;t necessarily make me believe it&#039;s a counterfeit (I think counterfeiters would probably make the coin look less worn so that it didn&#039;t appear to be tooled) and thus the roundness works in its favor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
