<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paul M., post: 5285770, member: 73165&quot;]Well, I certainly wouldn&#039;t say it was tooled without looking at it in hand, or with a much higher resolution image. I would describe this coin as &quot;aVF, significant porosity, portrait expertly tooled,&quot; if I thought it was tooled, otherwise I&#039;d just leave off &quot;tooled.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Honestly, the porosity bothers me more than anything else, and I probably wouldn&#039;t buy it because of that issue, unless it&#039;s some kind of insane rarity I&#039;m not familiar with.&nbsp; I say this because I do own a Marcus Aurelius provincial bronze with some porosity issues for which there are only about 3 known.&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t have bought that one either, except for the rarity, that he&#039;s an Antonine emperor, and the fact that I got it for like $85. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
