<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 4082976, member: 86498"]For me smoothing is a definite maybe. Many ae coins especially Roman sestertii have been smoothed. It depends on the degree that the coin has been smoothed as well as whether or not the coin has lost some detail because of over enthusiastic smoothing. "Er shouldn't there be an S. C. in the field somewhere there?" Not good. As noted in other posts some coins have been smoothed hundreds of years ago so even the smoothing has age patina. Tooling is another issue all together. That is simply bad news.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
