Hi All!
Just stumbled across this one on *bay.
The obverse hair, at least, seems to be tooled, right?
Seller, who is in Budapest, "guaranteed to the original."

The prior tooly on this
thread, posted by me, was from the
Budapest seller but originated in a
ebay sale of a
notorious German seller of
tooled coins i.e. the usual source. This might also be an ex-L coin. Not as terrible as some of course
PS I must add that the reselling of
tooled coins sold by that previously respected
German seller can hardly be a cause for us to complain about the
Budapest reseller. This is the sort of havoc that trickles down to the lower levels of the coin market when a member of the Intenational Assoication of Professional Numismatists sells truckloads of badly
tooled coins. The consequences will follow for years to come.
