thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 02/05/2015 1:36 pm I've only treated one bent coin to my satisfaction, and it was still a cull 5F Napoleon when I was done. I placed it between 2 oak boards and tightened it in a heavy dury vise. When I was done it was flat but the high point of the bend had undergone heavier uneven wear than the rest of the coin.

There's a link to the auction in the 1st post. BTW, I did contact the seller. He apologized and said he never had it out of the flip from when he bought it. I always take mine out of the flip when I photograph them, so hopefully I'd never run into a similar situation when selling. Report this Post to the Staff

There are 3 photos, is it me or did anyone notice the middle photo shows a "S" mint mark clearly on the 1893 Morgan? Looks like the seller had 2 reverse photos up, 2 different coin reverses.
