This is a Worthpoint link to an old auction of mine that the customer sent to NGC and they returned it as Tooled. Worthpoint is great as you see the original photos forever in high resolution. It is really a stunning coin and quite a shame NGC did not just slab it for the customer, but that is how they operate and their rules which I respect. Last year was the sale and I'll refund him once I get it back and resell it as "tooled according to NGC" but boy, this is a rare authentic coin according to them and the tooling was so well done someone will be glad to get it in their collection. (I have a guarantee for life like VCOINS even though I sell on ebay.)

I must admit, even my untrained eye can pick up on something not quite right with the look of the portrait. Perhaps it's my experience as a sculptor...or maybe it's the fact that I have spent an inordinate amount of time closely studying coin portraiture. There is a distinctly forced appearance in the engraving of the hair.

Even tooled that coin is very nice, louisville. Certainly worth adding to a collection...and certainly worthy of stewardship. A solid portrait of Drusus! I'm sure you will find an appreciative buyer.
