tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7940 Posts	Posted 08/09/2020 11:34 am If it looks bent, then yes. I am not an expert on this kind of stuff, but I think the roller press technology often resulted in coins with a slight curvature. I have quite a few (solidus from Baltic region, for example). Beautiful coin, by the way! Edit: I found this: https://www.PCGS.com/news/old-world...d-bent-coins Edited by tdziemia 08/09/2020 11:37 am Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7940 Posts	Posted 08/09/2020 1:31 pm I've picked up some Silesia coins from the late 1600s to fill in gaps in my Poland OFEY for years when no Polish coins were minted. Here's a picture of the curvature on a 6 kreuzer coin from Wurttemburg-Oels around the same time. I measure about 1.5 mm on a 25 mm coin. I think it's my most extreme example.
