<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 3529419, member: 75525&quot;]I am not an expert on smoothing vs tooling of Roman Imperial bronze coins. But I do know how to find examples of the coins I am buying (or have bought) on web sites like&nbsp; acsearch.info. You can see what your coins should look like, and then decide if they have been significantly altered. You can then make the call.</p><p>I collect Roman Republican bronze and one of the most likely tooled coins of that series has both Julius Caesar and Octavian. The three examples below are from acsearch. I think the last two were altered (smoothed or cleaned aggressively) to give different silhouettes than the top coin. Julius lost his Adam&#039;s Apple. The top coin is of highest quality and is a 5 digit coin.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]937868[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]937869[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]937872[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
