<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1703914, member: 19463&quot;]Nice coin!&nbsp; I&#039;ll guess that the scrape is the result of a professional archaeologist finding the coin and scraping it on a brick to see what metal it was made of.&nbsp; Certainly it could have been a looter looking for gold but I would expect a looter to realize that the scrape would reduce the price of the find by 50% so he might treat it better than someone who gets paid either way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
