That's what I would be paranoid about! Losing it w/out noticing. I would probably have to walk around with my hand in my pocket for the rest of me life

You'd need a belt of the same calibre, thats for sure. Also, if a ne'er do gooder is around, they might spy a large chunk of silver worth breaking a bone in their hand for. I think its asking for trouble to carry around something so overt and valuable.

Are they legal tender for 25c? If I had the dough, id try buying a stick of gum with a couple of those.

@BenByfield

I've walked out of banks after dumping with $5K in cash in one pocket and my pocket piece in the other and worried more about losing my pocket piece than the cash.

After more insight I find it equally hard to part with $180 from my paycheck to buy a 5oz puck than to trade even up with 5oz of silver I found for a measly $5.50 face of 90% halves which in the good old days of roll hunting I could find in 2 boxes.

I guess if you bought an old pair of JUNCO jeans you could have pockets big enough for it. I dont think youd have to worry about whether or not its still there though, it slapping you with every step should give you that answer

I've been using one as a ball marker for a while now. No problem finding it on the green.

I saw a circulated 5 oz Yellowstone on ebay years ago. Always wondered how that happened.

Some one had to wear that down. I would do a back flip if I got a 5 oz quarter in change

Ha ha. That would like trying to conceal a Smith & Wesson 500 Magnum on your person.

I think the S&W 500 Magnum might be easier to conceal!

Still waiting for my polymer Public Defender to come in stock.

At 27oz I better start practicing with a pocket full of 5 ozers
