just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 04/08/2013 11:24 am I try not to carry any coins at all. When I get any change, I put them in a drawer and look through them later. Just don't like carrying extra weight. Report this Post to the Staff

denco7 Pillar of the Community United States 2543 Posts	Posted 04/08/2013 1:21 pm Hondo .......... That's the exact same one I carry. Put it in my pocket a while back, so I would never be without at least a dollar in my pocket. Now it is a good luck charm, a security blanket, a favorite pet. Oh ......... the stories me and Ike could tell .............. Edited by denco7 04/08/2013 5:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff

clearsig New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 04/14/2013 11:08 pm I've been carrying a 1923 Peace dollar on my keychain since 1954. It was AU but holed when I got it, and now it's so smooth that hardly anything on it is legible. Report this Post to the Staff
NathanASE Pillar of the Community United States 1511 Posts	Posted 04/14/2013 11:46 pm I don't carry a pocket piece per say... Not just a loose coin in my pocket at least. The way I see it, Anything I really like I would never risk loosing... And if I really don't "love" it then I don't see a reason carrying it with me all the time... But that's just me, to much risk for loss, heck I loose things much bigger than coins all the time, lol, so I won't risk anything not attached. That being said... I do carry a 1958d Wheat penny in my Irish lucky horseshoe keychain, that my grandpa gave this to me when I used to collect coins with him before his passing in 1992 (he gave it to me in 1987/88ish) and it's been with me since and always will be (and I'm Irish so that's a bonus ) I know the coin is nothing too special and these "horseshoes" are common as well, but from my gramps its valuable to me. But as for a loose pocket piece.. No way. Report this Post to the Staff

nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 04/15/2013 2:22 pm I've decided on a dedicated pocket piece. I got a 2011 silver Philharmonic for $35 (so impatient) a couple months ago and it had fingerprints (last one in stock, too)!! They had actually toned into the silver! I was so annoyed that I gave it a harsh cleaning, but nothing happened. So to get revenge, I'm wearing it down into a nice lowball. I wonder how the design will look in a few months?

Doug58s Pillar of the Community United States 899 Posts	Posted 04/15/2013 2:36 pm Mine is kind of a default piece I picked up several months ago. I used to carry a walking half and it doubled as my ball marker when I played golf. I since bagged that - so to speak and hadn't had a coin I carried. One of the guys I work with asked about the Presidential dollars - he hadn't even known they existed and I brought in a John Adams - that I had in an airtite... and it has been in my pocket for the last 6 months now.
