<p>[QUOTE="Ocatarinetabellatchitchix, post: 4963452, member: 99554"]I'm asking myself for many years how it is possible auction houses present in their sales that kind of coin. The answer is: there is a market for it. Some collectors don't care to buy something that had been altered. I'm not one of them but I respect those guys.The important thing for me is the honesty of the seller; the coins have to be clearly described as "smoothed" or "tooled". I even sometimes saw coins at FORVM with the description "tooled" and that's ok with me as long as it's crystal clear the piece had been retouched.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
