<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 4863646, member: 26302"]I have done this at times. The thinner the coin the better the luck. I wrapped in multiple layers of cloth, (to allow slippage and prevent metal on metal contact). YES, you are risking breaking the coin, so I take no responsibility for your actions. Just saying I have done it with similar coins VERY SLOWLY. Snug it in vice first. Whenever I though about it tightened a little more. Did it over the course of a few days. Might have been overkill cautious, but MOSTLY straightened up similar coins. Problem is just like holding a string at two ends and wanting it to be perfectly straight. Unless you are willing to OVERbend the coin, it will never be 100% straight after being bent. I was never willing to risk overbending, so I removed 96% of the bend from the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Slow vice best option IMHO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
