Silverinthehole New Member Canada 32 Posts	Posted 08/17/2016 09:46 am Hey.. Wondering if anyone has a trusted and true method for straightening slightly bent coins...I have a silver Canadian 5 cent that has a slight bend across the center. The bend starts at the 5 under the crown and goes down to about 4 o'clock...I may have kissed it a bit with the shovel... Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

fistfulladirt Pillar of the Community United States 4333 Posts	Posted 08/18/2016 05:28 am I found a 1900 Victoria dime while roll hunting, it was slightly bent. I put it between two pieces of wood in a vice to straighten. My coin was not valuable to begin with, but no harm or damage done. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors... Roll hunting since '77 Dirt fishing since '72 Report this Post to the Staff
