My lucky 1989 ASE pocket piece goes everywhere I do.  Why is it lucky? Because I bought it for $1 from a 7-11 cashier in 1993. Yes, it was this scratched and beat-up when I got it! (I keep it in a flip)   |

I'm really glad someone started a topic on this. I started carrying a 1897S dollar. But then it started to lose some toning that I liked so I stopped carrying it to preserve it the way I wanted. I've carried various dollars to adjust the toning pattern or to naturally "clean" them to a degree. I bought a 1890 CC dollar that looked like it had a little PVC damage on the high spots so I've been carrying that around. It looks a lot better now.
Currently I've been toting around Aussie and New Zealand coins since I'm down in New Zealand for a year.
Carried a $5 half eagle for a little while.

Anyone else like silver coins? Not Me! I am way past the point of the definition of like can be used, I am more obsessed with them |

Not currently carrying one but I have always wanted to buy a BU 1921 Morgan and see if carrying it around will eventually get it down to an AG3 or lower.

I'm a huge fan of silver coins, the weight, feel, and sound but I can't
be trusted to carry one around. I'd loose it for sure.

Gothic Florin, why not start with a VF 1921 Morgan? It would get to AG3 in much less time.  Silver coins wore out faster in circulation than Cu-Ni coins (every 1965 Quarter I see still has a full rim and date), and your pocketful of Cu-Ni coins would accelerate the '21's wear process.

does anyone else carry coins to get rid of ugly toning more naturally? i.e. to avoid actually "cleaning" it?

after reading this today I started carrying a 1921 Morgan that has black crescent toning as an experiment to see what will happen and how long it takes

I find that when I carry silver coinage in my pockets I tend to fidget with it too much. I love the feel, I love the sound... I must have been a dragon in a former life :-)

when I carry coins I try to keep them separate from other pocket stuff. usually in the small key pocket.

Shots of My Pocket Pieces I Love the Sound of silver  This thread got me to thinking I had no shots of them. Then there was addition to the pocket pieces on Christmas. I purchased 4 1971 S Silver Proof Brown Box Eisenhower's Gave two to my boy's, One to a Very Close Family Friend that is the same as my Son and runs with my boy's And we all cracked them out together at the same time. The boys have been wanting a pocket piece for quite awhile   And the new addition  |
