<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Atherton, post: 2712060, member: 82616&quot;]I&#039;m afraid I don&#039;t have your hubris. There are portraits of Vespasian with a lot of hair and others showing him completely bald. The OP coin fooled me and the well known, experienced dealer who sold it. Only upon an in hand inspection with a 7x loupe was I able to see the deceptive tooling. A fellow collector provided the die match obverse photo which shows how extensive the tooling really is. After that, it was case closed on the piece and it was returned.</p><p><br /></p><p>All that being said, deceptive tooling of silver is rare and not encountered very often - which is probably why we see no other photos of it in the thread.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
