<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 1421577, member: 3726"]At the local shop they always encourage me to look at the special box in the back. This box has contains coins like 1856 flying eagles, proof Gobrecht dollars, early bust dollars, etc. Coins that run anywhere from 2k to 40k. Some of these are raw in 2x2's. Well you guessed - I was holding one twirling under the loup and I dropped the coin. All I saw was stars as it hit the counter - even in the 2x2 I thought crap. It was a 1796 or 1797 bust half priced over 25k - I don't remember the exact price. The guy waiting on me just smiled and said don't worry about it you did not hurt it, plus we have all dropped more expensive coins at 1 time or another. I did not relax until the next day.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also I have scratched just one coin slightly when I cracked it out of a holder.
