<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 7801878, member: 24754&quot;]I referenced this thread from 2 years ago as part of a different discussion in another thread, I didn&#039;t intend to have it bumped back to the top of the list. I certainly don&#039;t mind continuing the discussion, but I just wanted to point out that this material is dated.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I mentioned previously in this thread, I do not mind some smoothing in the fields of my coins. It doesn&#039;t detract from the content or originality of the coin in my opinion (no surface on ancient coins is &quot;original&quot;), and it makes them more aesthetically pleasing, so I feel that the &quot;issues&quot; tradeoff is worthwhile. What we call &quot;Smoothing&quot; in the fields can be called &quot;Tooling&quot; by a 3rd party like NGC, so I guess the descriptions can kinda be honest and not be honest at the same time <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie98" alt=":wacky:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did contact CNG and Frank Robinson about any potential resolutions. I don&#039;t remember exactly how the conversations went (I could probably dig up some emails), but the general message from both was:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;<i>We have no obligation to rectify our agreed upon, previous sales based on the opinions of a 3rd party given after the fact.</i>&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s pretty much what I was expecting, and I didn&#039;t really push the issue much beyond initial contact.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
