@coinfrog, for me in a buckle or in a pocket is the same thing. It's not money anymore so what do you do with it? Usually it ends up in a box in a drawer or the bank. Somewhere for safe-keeping. I'd rather have a coin in my hand than in my memory. That's why the deposits on the old siver pocket coins bug me. I want shiny coins not spotty coins.
I like the rarity and design of coins as well as carrying them. I had an 1889-CC Morgan years ago, equal in condition and value to the 1870-CC in the buckle. I'd rather have the seated CC (survival 1750 for all years) in my buckle than a whole roll of the Morgans (survival 25,000 for the 1889-CC, but no different reverse from the other CC Morgans (survival 3,500,000)).
