Removing Coin From Bezel

You would need a steady hand to hold the bezel in a vise and unbend the pins without scratching the coin any more. It is probably scratched a bit since the pins are touching the coin. Or perhaps you can snip the pins with a fine cutter and the coin would come loose. That's what I would try from the look of it. There might be enough room to use a fine bladed jeweler's saw to cut around the edges.

And please share your results if applicable.

be very careful---an expensive coin---checked it out on vcoins website---

I got the coin out, but there are a few marks where the pins were. Looking back, I'm pretty sure a jeweler would've done it for free since I'm trading the bezel in for scrap anyway. All they'd have to do is heat up the pins and pop the coin out. Of course, I thought of that after the fact. Lesson learned—always check with a jeweler first!

In time the scratches will tone up and blend in better, but they will still be there and for sure hurt the value of coin.

Thanks, but I think the jeweler would've done the job with little or no damage.
