[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 8285360, member: 91461"]I'll borrow [USER=39084]@IdesOfMarch01[/USER] image and point out the areas in between the pillars where the "cleaner" got greedy and took to out, not just patina, but appears to have dug in the metal, observe a few spots via the red arrows. As well, I can see what others are saying about the lines in the fields looking like simple over cleaning. But compared to the jagged letters and rocky dots I would be pretty pressed not to call that smoothed. [ATTACH=full]1463708[/ATTACH] Of course I'm standing on the shoulders of giants and have had minimal, compared to some, exposure to smoothing and tooling, thankfully. But I must confess, after reading some of my favorite posters remarks, I do wonder if I've overshot. [USER=112621]@Restitutor[/USER] could we please see the obverse of the coin?[/QUOTE]
