Here are my 3. I lost my Morgan for a while. Then I noticed my new kitten trying to pick up my Ike off my night stand about a month ago. This gave me an  and sure enough I found my Morgan in one of my kittens' "stash" spots. Here it is after being in my kittens possession for a while.  My Ike has had some wear.  Found 2 of these in a roll. This one had an ugly yellow/brown coating on it so I made it a pocket piece. Not sure what it is, but it's coming off quickly as coin wears.

One day in and it sure is a lug. Sound's great in there, we don't hear change like that anymore. Definitely know it's in there, and is the first to hit your hand when you reach in. This is probably a good thing as you don't need to pull it out to get at the rest of your change. Quote: I went all in with $20
jack jeckel- your Bugs is a great choice, probably the only one out there. Maybe I should have said BIG...   The rim is so shallow on this coin. It may wear off inside faster than the outside due to the smaller diameter coins rolling around on it.

I decided to take the plunge today and put this 1974 D Ike in my pocket. Let's see how long it takes me to lose it.

I'm coming up on a year with mine; there is a little over a month left. I will post an update then. Maybe I'll add another at that point, as well.

I haven't been carrying mine around recently, but seeing this thread reminded me to get back in the action. I'll post an update next month, but in the meantime, I'm enjoying everyone else's.

Nice progress! Barely looks like the same Morgan.

The other day a customer, who we have known is a coin collector, showed us his pocket collection: An 1879(?) Morgan 1922 Peace 2008 ASEA Walking Liberty and Franklin halfsilver Washington quarter Mercury dimeAnd one or two other small silver coins that I didn't get a good look at. All seemed to be in pretty nice grades with lots of detail, even the ASE which he said he's been carrying since '08. Very fun to see. And I thought my pockets were full!
