*update 2/10/2016 one week after posting* Obverse 1. L & I in liberty is becoming weaker and softer. 2. Y in liberty is starting to feather (blend with the rest of the coin) 3. "in god we trust" is fading even more 4. the "1" in 1972 is starting to feather 5. worn more of his ear lobe away Note the cracks that you see on "in god we trust" is a fiber  Reverse 1. worn the moon on the left side of the field to where it blends entirely with the coin. 2.the feathers on the wings on both sides are wearing away. (most noticeable on the eagles RIGHT wing) 3. one of the craters is almost gone. 4. the eagles mouth is almost completely gone. 5. the "O" in One dollar is starting to feather 6. the branch that the eagle has is starting to blend together on the right side 7. The tail feathers are starting to blend together.  |

https://goccf.com/t/253063My 72 Ike is just a little more worn then yours. I'm wondering how long it would take to wear them down to like 02. I kinda like the looks of it when it's worn like yours.

I'm going to add a couple more pocket pieces to the wearing process, and I'm only adding these coins because they are worn down already and they are polished, but anyways we have an 1883 Columbian half dollar, and a 1908-O Barber half dollar, I'm hoping to get rid of the polishing.

it looks like to me that I can blend more of the eagle and lady liberty into the field, their outlines.
