<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 3111906, member: 56859&quot;]I agree with the others; this is not &quot;tooling&quot; as far as the common meaning of the term with regards to ancient coins.&nbsp; Those scratches were not done to enhance the look of the coin, therefore it is not tooling.&nbsp; As for whether such marks would typically make a coin worth significantly less money, without seeing photos of the entire coin it&#039;s hard to say.&nbsp; Of course all that really matters is whether you are happy with the coin and it sounds like you weren&#039;t.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
