<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 24647020, member: 92655&quot;]Now that I am paying attention, I see more and more 18th century pieces with graffiti scratched into them. I have even noticed lately that counterfeit pieces often have similar graffiti that is an apparent attempt to lend authenticity to the piece..... My 1795 dollar is below and it has an &quot;X&quot; scratched into the eagles chest. In my mind, a colonial era American likely doesn&#039;t have the time or energy to devote much time to such endeavors as scratching graffiti on his money, so I have to wonder..... Was there a practical purpose for a colonial era American to mark his cash?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1568920[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
