do you wear your Apache Tear, OD?


No, it's carried in my front pocket and used as a "weather" stone. i/e;
lay it on the front porch and if it ends up out in the yard, the wind is blowing...or... lay it on the window sill in the winter and if it turns "white" it snowing....or.... when it looks wet, its raining. Get the idea? a lot more dependable than the weather-man on Tv!

Old Dan, What would it mean if it gets wet in your pocket? I know----your sweating out there in that western sun? My Apache Tear was blessed in 72 and hand delivered and it has really been very special and with me every day since. Guess thats how I managed to get all this luck with collecting friends and coins in general? I know one thing, a million bucks wouldn't buy mine!

I'm trying to wear down a 2000 Sac, but as an earlier poster stated, they wear very well, except for the color change. It's going on 5 years now and it's still an XF piece.

Love to get it to About Good.

My current pocket piece is an 1890 Victorian Jubilee Head (British) Crown which, if it had not been harshly cleaned, would be about F or so.

Now, when I have my keys with me, I have several "holed" coins on the ring including an 1853 US Large Cent, 1803 US Large Cent, 1898 US Barber half dollar, and a Byzantine Follis from about 1030 A.D. ... and, no, I did not put the holes in 'em.

About a year ago I took a 1982 G.W. commen 50C out of it's box for a pocket piece. Someday, I want to send it in to a TPG just for fun.
