[QUOTE="Nicholas Molinari, post: 2549477, member: 78411"]The first picture isn't in focus so the comparison is too difficult to be sure when any alleged tooling happened. I think the coin was probably tooled but there's a chance it was just harshly cleaned and scratches were left in the patina without any removal of actual metal, and this might be accentuated by the lighting. I've seen coins I was convinced were tooled from photos only to learn they weren't when I saw them in hand.[/QUOTE]
