What coil is this?
If this is an oscillator coil, had it gotten any shorts your oscillator would not oscillate, let alone at the right frequencies or close.
If it is an IF......maybe, but still a short is a short and you probably would have an extremely quiet reception or none depending if it is an output or input coil.
I mean, if you are mentally at the point where you could rewind it, sure do, but it is a job requiring some effort and I usually try to prove to myself I need to do it before I yank out a coil. I hate rewinding.
