I bet you would kick your self, if you could. But it happens. Maybe, you will find something better.

It's always the best find that gets scratched, scraped, bent, or broken. Happens to most of us at some point--that's true. BUT, the trick is to make certain that it never happens again. I scratched an 1888 dime with my shovel once when I was 13. The coin looked like it was dropped the day it was minted. It's prominently displayed, and even more than 20 years later I get a little sick when I look at it. But it reminds me to Always dig carefully.
