<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikey Zee, post: 2159704, member: 72818&quot;]I can see the smoothing on the 1st coin and because of a thread on tooling I recently spent some time on---learning what to look for---I can see the &#039;tooling&#039; on the details of the second, whereby they are far too distinctly high relief in comparison to the general lower area around them (specifically the hair)....but the second does have the intended effect: it has greater eye-appeal than the first. I assume the second is the higher priced coin---if it were of similar value, I&#039;d probably buy the second, unless they both were excessively priced.....</p><p><br /></p><p>I take it you find &#039;smoothing&#039; less disturbing than &#039;tooling&#039; ?? And, if that is how you feel, you should follow your gut instincts and preferences...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
