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.

Those blemishes will diminish the value of the coin a great deal, but it is an incredible find nonetheless. I got to hold a 1795 Flowing Hair Dollar a few months ago (it led to me getting the silver farm) and it had a gouge that cut its price from $2000-3000 to $500. The dollar is worth a lot more than the half. Great find!

A FIND OF A LIFETIME - SCRATCH OR NO SCRATCH! A COIN LIKE THAT IS ON ALL OF OUR WISH (DREAM) LIST! INCREDIBLE! CERTAINLY SHOULD MAKE THE BEST FINDS OF 2007 ISSUE. BY THE WAY, TO AVOID SCRATCHING ITEMS IN THE FUTURE (THOUGH I'M NOT SAYING YOU SCRATCHED THIS ONE), WHEN IN A FIELD OR THE WOODS, USE A 26" GARDEN SHOVEL AND YOU CAN CUT A REAL WIDE PLUG TO BE SURE YOUR NOT NEAR THE TARGET.

I think back at the luck I have had this year with my first gold coin, Over 20 seated dimes, 1796 Liberty Cap LC, 1805 LC...My first Silver dollar......And over 150 silvers.....Life could not get any better...Until TODAY that is!!!! Man I love this hobby!!! I still have goosebumps!!!

I wonder what a person could buy with a half dollar in 1795? I'm sure when you walk onto that field next time it will be 10 times more exciting to hunt.
Just knowing, maybe there's another one.... ;)

I can only imagine how much 50 cents from 1795 would be in todays money. This person must have been sick over losing it. I was sick from finding it....All in all.....the last 2 people to touch this coin were sick over it...lol. I will be meeting a buddy at this site at 9 AM tomorrow...I PRAY for another...lol...Yea I wish!!!

Congratulations, Outraged, for finding the best silver coin I have ever seen posted...  The hairs on my arms are standing just looking at that pic. Can't imagine how you feel. Yes, no sleep for you tonight. Maybe you should go and camp out at that field of yours...  Scratch or no scratch, that is a beauty for sure. To think I felt bad today when I nicked the three mercs I found, because of the hard soil conditions. Hey, if you think you scratched it or not, it happens to the best of us. If the area around the coin had been plowed up, the scratch most likely would have happened at the time of the plowing. Not very many people today can say they found one of those coins. Yes, I'd say it's definitely a find of a lifetime. The prices "DigginItUp" posted for you are for Early Dollars, not Halves. Per PCGS, here's the prices for the Early Halves: G F EF AU 60 62 63 1795 750 2250 11500 25000 36000 50000 70000 115000 175000 - 1795/1795 Recut Date, 3 Leaves 2500 4500 16500 30000 45000 - - - - - 1795 Small Head 900 3000 13500 30000 38000 57500 - - - - 1795/1795 Recut Date, 2 Leaves 1000^ 4000^ 13500 - - - - - Congrats, again, bud. HH, CAPTN SE Dan PS - outraged, check out the pic of the rev. of a flowing hair that's being sold on ebay for around $2000. I'm looking at the "A" on STATES on your coin, and I think yours may be of this variety. Easily recognizable as O-113 (R.3) as the word STETES was originally cut in error then recut as STATES; the serifs of the E are plainly visible behind the A.

I took the liberty of researching how much things cost in 1795. Here's a page from a guys diary from that year.  Here's the link to the entire diary. It's strange how they used "f" as "s". http://books.google.com/books?id=ai...cYgX2iJ-0T3nUKaYSRcpE0s1fk#PPP11,M1It's fun to read. Kirk. When you read it, feel free to just insert plenty of sauntering 1795 "dudes".  Congratulations again, outraged! Ridley

As someone used to say, "HOLYOHBOYSHT!"
Regardless of the (pre-existing your dig, I'd say) damaged spots, look at the detail on that coin!
You'll be flying for years on this one, every time you think of that first look.
Congratulations!

Congratulations, Outraged, for finding the best silver coin I have ever seen posted...  The hairs on my arms are standing just looking at that pic. Can't imagine how you feel. Yes, no sleep for you tonight. Maybe you should go and camp out at that field of yours...  Scratch or no scratch, that is a beauty for sure. To think I felt bad today when I nicked the three mercs I found, because of the hard soil conditions. Hey, if you think you scratched it or not, it happens to the best of us. If the area around the coin had been plowed up, the scratch most likely would have happened at the time of the plowing. Not very many people today can say they found one of those coins. Yes, I'd say it's definitely a find of a lifetime. The prices "DigginItUp" posted for you are for Early Dollars, not Halves.

Most outstanding!! Plow struck or something else. No digger, so, you can stop puking now. I admire all northerners in the fact that there are so many more places, to hunt there, that will produce those kinds of results. My oldest coin to date is an 1883 Indian Head in mucho fine condition. It was a stroke of luck and will probably never be duplicated by me. You on the other hand have a buffet before you. We might have to install speed bumps to slow you down. Don't want you getting it all in one day  Good luck out there!!!! Beautiful coin by the way. Those are the kinds of finds that keep me motivated!!

Sweet!! This spot may have a few "Once in a lifetime" finds and any good signal might be dug carefully. Now on your "trusty Whites" did you recheck the hole?? It might be a "DUH" question, but what if there happened to be another "good" signal there?? I'm sure you probably did, but who knows what happens when you have a great find, then the frustration of thinking you "ric'd" it. So maybe recheck the hole a day later if you haven't. I know when I had my XLT, I felt it was good at pinpointing, not perfect mind you, but good!! Anyways, thanks for sharing that pic, great find, but great shot of our past too!!

Congrats on a super find, not too often early silver of any type is found and this one is a goodie. Capt_ Se (Dan) is correct on the attribution, I went to an auction site and looked at quite a few of the O-113a that sold in recent years, this one is similar in wear condition to yours, however, the slight rim damage, scratches and what looks like pit corrosion, which happens in old silver will take a great VF-35 coin down a bit on net grade I am afraid. O-113a, R.4. A rough broken patch between the date and star 15 is diagnostic of the obverse. On the reverse, the A in STATES was cut over an E, and there are nine berries on each branch. This later die state also displays a faint die crack joining most of the letters in LIBERTY at the top, as well as rough breaks or defects between stars 12 and 14. When I see coins like this I go to my catalogs for comparisons for ID help, condition, price. I have found the Heritage Auction website to be very helpful in attributing coins I do not have books for for ID'ing the different varieties. LOL< the 1795 Half Dollar has 30 some varieties, and price can vary greatly based on variety, more so than condition. Again, GREAT FIND!!!! Don in South Jersey

Kick arse find to say the least ;) OutRaged, I have to share with everyone what you said on the phone when you called me... "Today is the best and worst day I've had metal detecting... I found a flowing hair silver... and I spiked it! When you get here I'll be in the road... run me over with your Jeep!"  Too funny! I'm glad to hear that everyone seems to be on agreement that you didn't spike it  Way to go, making my 1787 New Jersey Copper pale in comparison  Of course a coin like that tends to do that to any coin found the same day  Here's a quick couple of pics of my 220 year old copper (found at the same site) if anybody even cares    Again, Congrats on the killa find OutRaged!

Congratulations Outraged. That is one very stunning find. I hope you continued success in that field. Surely there is another find or 2 there hopefully? Hope so.

Definitely scratched on the reverse at the bottom. The small scrapes on the front appear old, but the back is fresh.
Fantastic coin! The damage makes me sick too.
