The three following pictures are showing an amazing example of a coin also struck by the pair O7-R35, but heavily tooled. After the first tooling (2nd picture) the letters added (arrow) are too fancy and too different than the norm. After my protestation, the dealer removed the coin from Ebay before the end of the sale. But eight month later, the coin was for sale again on Ebay after he removed the most fancy letters previously added (3rd picture)! Note that this specimen is also tooled on the obverse (right palm branch)
