<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheRed, post: 4415851, member: 87080&quot;]It&#039;s much less common on hammered coins, especially early medieval, but does happen from time to time.&nbsp; A lot of times it will be tooling legends to make them legible.&nbsp; Frankly the level of artistry on most medieval hammered coins just doesn&#039;t warrant tooling the way it does with ancients.&nbsp;&nbsp; A much more prevelant practice is straightening bent or folded coins.&nbsp; Sometimes it is done really well, other times very poorly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
