<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 3528901, member: 74282&quot;]And what are you gonna do when someone here tells you your slabbed bronze is tooled but it&#039;s not listed on the label? Many of us have seen such coins. I suppose you can just comfort yourself with the fact that it&#039;s slabbed and if they missed it you don&#039;t care and that&#039;s what many collectors of slabbed coins do but part of being a collector is taking responsibility for the coins in your own collection. Learning to spot tooling, smoothing, etc is part of that. No one will ever care as much about keeping fakes and altered coins out of your collection as you will, not any auction house, dealer or third party grader. Even a paid dealer representing you at an auction will not care as much about keeping altered and fake coins out of your collection as you. Even if you only plan to buy slabbed coins you should try to learn enough to spot anything they may miss. Just my two cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
