<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2995162, member: 19463"]My favorite tooled coin is trying to be an Alexandrian tet of Zenobia but started life as a Spes as of Vespasian or Titus, I believe. What started as SC became the date LE. The fabric of the coin is all wrong for a tet of the 3rd century. Most tooled coins add a few strands of hair or replace worn legends but a $5 slug and a lot of work can make an attempt to be a $5000 rarity. I bought it as what it is but always wondered if it ever sold to someone who thought it was what it was not. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]739871[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
