<p>[QUOTE="Romancollector, post: 4963437, member: 106319"]Wow...I was actually almost in the exact same predicament with a Julio Claudian sestertius, in an upcoming auction. Maybe we’re referring to the same coin? I was going to bid on it until I compared a picture of it from a previous auction. The previous picture lacked a few of the details that the current picture had. Then I checked the current listing and some of the modifications (not all) had been mentioned, but I’m not sure if this was mentioned initially. However, I suspect that I would have noticed this because I read listings thoroughly, and I’ve been eyeing this coin for a while. In any case, I found a beautiful substitute (albeit probably more expensive) which was previously slabbed and was not deemed to be tooled. The tooled coin in question, which already has bids on it, is not cheap (at least for me).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
