<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jgusdon, post: 8162020, member: 95132&quot;]question about &quot;tooling&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>I am a bit blown out of the water looking at a coin for sale in upcoming CNG Triton XXV section 6&nbsp;&nbsp; #446&nbsp; Octavian and Julius Caesar.&nbsp; &nbsp; Very nice looking and to CNG&#039;s credit in an honest description they do state&nbsp; &quot;tooled and smoothed&quot; and reference&nbsp; ex Elsen 144 (14 March 2020), lot 446.&nbsp;&nbsp; The present coin is very attractive and hard for me to see tooling in the photo&nbsp; -- but then I go to NumisBids to look at the Elsen coin and it is almost impossible to believe that they are the same coin just 2 years earlier.&nbsp; There is someone out there who is a world class genius at ?repairing coins -- how in the world he or she can do this is beyond my experience and I am a sculptor. Luckily for me I stick with my inexpensive coins because I now think that this is much more widespread than anyone can understand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
