<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hunt1, post: 1576952, member: 25971&quot;]If the prongs are not too tight, and the coin is removed slowly and properly, the likelihood that any damage was done by the prongs is little. It&#039;s the same concept as jewelers use when they adjust the setting with stones. If you tighten the prongs or setting too tight, the stone will crack. Leave it too loose, the stone falls out. The prongs at 7 and 9 o&#039;clock look indicative to be just curving around the coin, which would make me think any skilled jeweler could bend them back carefully (assuming all other prongs are like the ones I said). The majority of damaged coins due to acessories or jewelery that I have seen come from bezels and such that contrude on the majority or all of the coins rim.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
