<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IdesOfMarch01, post: 1936620, member: 39084&quot;]A number of thoughts about this coin and CNG: first, for coins that individuals sell in their electronic auctions (of which this coin is an example), CNG makes no comments or representations about those coins since it&#039;s not CNG selling the coin.&nbsp; So don&#039;t expect to read anything about tooling unless the seller is willing to make those statements himself.</p><p><br /></p><p>Second, I do believe that there is tooling on both the obverse and reverse of this coin.&nbsp; While I&#039;m not an expert in this area, the sharpness of the edges in Pegasus&#039; forelegs is much higher than one would expect for a coin showing this much overall wear.&nbsp; The same is true of the leading edge of Pegasus&#039; wing.&nbsp; On the reverse, the front profile of Aphrodite&#039;s nose, lips, and chin are all much sharper than a coin with this much wear would typically show.&nbsp; There are other smaller areas that also appear to be re-engraved.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry to say this, since I realize you&#039;re the buyer of the coin, but it&#039;s still an OK coin for the amount you paid.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
