<p>[QUOTE="ancient coin hunter, post: 4963402, member: 87200"]I just bid on a Julio-Claudian sestertius in an upcoming auction (I won't name which one). Perplexing to me is that after making my bid (I am currently "winning" but probably won't be for long) I clicked on the details of the coin and found that it was described as "heavily tooled and smoothed" which was very disappointing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Should reputable auction houses even market these coins? I know there is a disclaimer but I also noted that there were no returns and also the winner will be subject to an 18% buyers' fee. To me, something about this is not kosher. Do you folks have any opinion on this practice?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
