I found this 1875 50 Pfennig coin metal detecting but as you can see a possible field plowing has bent the coin. From the research I've done I know the coin is 90% silver and I would think it should be fairly easy to straighten out since it is not bent too badly.
Has anybody had experience in accomplishing this and could give me some sound advice? I have read that the more silver content a coin has, the less chance of breakage.
