<p>[QUOTE="fred13, post: 4548505, member: 20688"]Being brutally honest: PCGS didn't miss the bending they along with NGC just think its market acceptable which I tend to agree with. I'm a big fan of hammered gold and most of my specimens are well bent which I'm fine with. Pure gold is malleable and those angels are incredibly thin. Heres a similar coin which was probably crunched up like a ball at one point and straightened out. Hard to believe otherwise for a coin of such age. Despite that I have no qualms what so ever about the bending and am still beyond delighted to own it. An angel is on my want list and quality of strike and amount of remaining detail far far outweight the bending. In short I quite like your coin for the grade and wouldn't give a second thought to the crease</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1125972[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1125973[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
