I would say from the look of it,the scratch was already there.I find that when you scratch silver,the new scratch looks really shiny. EXCELLENT FIND!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!

Dude, I am bowing to your detecting skills at this moment. Draped wilver is hard to find, let alone Flowing Hair! I wish you many more Flowing Hairs! Hmmm....maybe the Chain cent is next.

Congrats on a trully excellent find! The front scratches look quite old, on the reverse center bottom it looks like it got clipped by a digger but you know it is what it is, puke if you want I would but it takes nothing away from making such a great find. How many of these dollars have been dug in the last 7 years? This is the first I have ever seen posted!

NO WAY! *Just pulling your strings Minelabers!  I just did some research on this coin....I think it is a half dollar. I compared it to my silver dollar and it is a little smaller but a little bigger than a half dollar. On the rim it reads...FIFTY CENTS OR HALF A DOLLAR....I feel silly now...lol. O well I guess it is a Half dollar....Sigh

WOW! I can imagine your excitement when you saw what you had found. Anyway you look at it, it is a beautiful find. Keep on that site no telling what else is lurking underground. Thanks for sharing the photo. Wonder if the Girl Scout button's bird might be a Blue Bird. I'm not sure if the Blue Birds and Girl Scout organizations were ever connected or had a relationship to each other though.
