lol ckrakowski  Wow everyone, I didn't expect the vote to be so decisive. Why do you guys think it would take 5+ years? |

Most coins last decades in circulation before they are worn so much. Being in you pocket may accelerate the process but I wouldnt have thought enough for it to be PO-1 after 5 years. I voted 5+ years but I would expect it to be 10++

I couldn't vote. Way, way to many variables. Type of pocket? Pocket material? How often running and/or walking?
How many and type of other coins in the pocket? What other items are in that pocket?

I'm with just carl, is there going to be anything else in there or just by its self? But I would have to go with +5 If I were doing something like this I would go with in pocket with nothing else, Let them low spots fill with dirt and shoot for that cameo proof look.

To give some other information, the coin is inhabiting a pocket with an Eisenhower dollar, 2 kennedeys, an ATB Quarter, and a nickel. I never take these coins out of my pocket, even when I exercise. I'm an avid bicyclist, and they even come with me then of course. So, My Kennedy half went from MS to VF in about 6 months, so I was a little surprised when you guys said 5+. I didn't realize that most of you didn't have multiple pocket pieces.(y'all really should  )Hope that answers everyones questions.  |

If I was trying to get a PO1 I would have started with a more worn example. The 5+ for me at least is more a result of the current condition of that coin. The bike rides could speed that up though

The multiple large coins will help accelerate the process...

basebal21, I think this is more of an experiment than trying specifically for PO-1. In addition, this coin is NCLT. I could have chose another voyaguer dollar in another grade, but it would have been intended for circulation which I didn't want. So... this coin is sort of a compromise between being a voyaguer dollar, and being NCLT. I could have bought one of those 2003 voyaguer dollars, but that was considerably more exspensive.  |

I think a rock tumbler with a handful of small pocket change mixed in is a good way to get this coin to where you want it without wearing holes in your pockets or destroying the surfaces. Orange juice with a lot of pulp is a great tumbling lubricant for small metal pieces- keeps everything shiny. Otherwise, hope you own a sewing machine.  |

Its interesting you should say that because I have a really old pair of jeans with lots of holes, grass stains, grease, paint etc... and the pockets are still good as new despite having a fistful of change constantly in my pocket. Then again, I never carry anything else on me except my wallet which has a house key in it. So I don't have to worry about the key poking a hole in my pocket.

Maybe in another year it will be a Po 1.
