In many cases what they call wavy planchets were commonplace. So &quot;bent&quot; coins are perfectly acceptable.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen hammered coins that were wadded up, almost as if you took a piece of paper and wadded it up into a ball. And that coin was straightened back out flat, sent to a TPG, and graded.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
