<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 2500688, member: 77639&quot;]Recently saw a raw early half eagle offered by a dealer that was being sold as mint state (based on no wear on the devices) but as cleaned and with the fields tooled. By the looks of it, an accurate description, and obviously no intent to defraud. Then curious statement was made that the field tooling should be redone.&nbsp; Seems a little strange and was maybe a joke.&nbsp; I suppose if a coin has already been defaced, going further to make it look a little prettier is OK. On the other hand, it might make it easier to pass on to a naive collector as problem-free. I wouldn&#039;t want it in any case.&nbsp; Opinions?</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
