<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheNickelGuy, post: 1676709, member: 20201&quot;]I have a bent copper Ships Colonies &amp; Commerce type coin for my set with the US flag that is struck on a very thin flange or planchet. I thought of givivng it a shot in the vise between a couple wooden shims. However the wear on the coin proves that it circulated &quot;bent&quot; for quite some time back in the day and it has since turned very dark. I wonder if flatteneing it out might actually ruin it as there would be no reason for wear on those high points if it were flat.</p><p>It is actually more bent than this image shows. I was thinking of upgrading first before I gave it a try.</p><p><img src="http://www.cointalk.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=212118&amp;d=1351385636" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.cointalk.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=212119&amp;d=1351385638" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
