Very interesting - I wonder how it got bent.

 

good find...looks like it might have met with a farm implement in the past...

 

Ah! Teenagers don’t change...I used to do that with beer bottle cap when I was younger...

 

Neat find, shame it's bent. I'd worry about unbending it.

 

Another funderful find @galba68!!!
Might I, a well known debaucher, recommend the conservative approach and that you not attempt to unbend that folded fella?
Folds, like holes, dents, scrapes and dings add character. Like a pretty lady with gap teeth, kinda, makes you smile bigger.

 

Agree! Do NOT try to unbend it! It will probably break in two.
Maybe your shovel bent it.

 

I'm going with the shovel. Bad luck, man. Fresh indent/scratch?

 

Better first try to ID. It's silver and reads VOT- XXX. etc.. Whose Emperor on obverse? At your place, I'll ask a silver smith to fix it safely, even a little bit.
Good Luck G68..

 

There is no hope for this siliqua..Its almost broken in half..I gave it to my friend as a gift, he will try to save the coin..The farmer's tractor nearly cut it off...
