<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Travlntiques, post: 2074066, member: 39129&quot;]Took a knife and scratched an extremely rare So-Called-Dollar when I was 5 years old to see if it was real gold....like a pirate, Argh!

Thought the $10 looked like AU or worse, so I played with it for a while, clanked it around, left it in my pocket, no big deal not a high grade. The $2.50 was nice though...until I dropped it on the hard floor where it picked up at least one scratch.</p><p>Had them graded out of curiosity; the $10 went MS-61 (probably would have been a 63 if I wasn&#039;t rough with it) and the 1907 went MS-63 (probably could have been a 64).... :-(</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, yeah...I over-dipped an MS Barber Quarter...POOF, there goes the luster![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
