<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1748417, member: 15199&quot;]I believe it is a restored bend. When a coin is bent and then straightened there will be a stretching and then compression of the metal. The flatness of the coin is not indicative of it not being bent. If you have a micrometer, measure the diameter perpendicular to the fold and the middle of the coin parallel to it. Even a small degree of more diameter perpendicular to the fold indicates stretch and then compression.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Look at the PMD done on the left hand edge of the crease. Likely where the coin was held to bend, IMO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
