Super cool morgan pocket piece!! It has that polished look, but of course it has been rubbing cloth all day!

I haven't carried one for close to a year.
This thread reminded me I need to start up again

I bought a 1896-o Morgan in EF that already was drilled for a key ring a few years ago. I get a lot of joy going through my daily routine knowing a Morgan is always close to look at. I used to keep a 1888-cc counterfeit for fun I carried but it's in my sock drawer now. I prefer a real Morgan. When I bought the 88-cc I also bought a bogus proof ASE I kept at y desk at work. It was stolen#129313;

Mine is a turn of the century (1900) Morgan dollar. (I'll post up a picture later after dinner.)

I have exams in a couple of weeks and it looks like I need a mascot. I need to find a suitable coin that I could not only carry with me every day, but also that would serve as a talisman for me and would be happy. I don't have anything suitable. Does anyone have any options ?

It's been a minute for me... This 1971-S 40% Ike has been with me since late Dec 2020. It was a coin machine find at work a few years earlier.   1960-D Franklin since April 2020.  The story behind this one is that my dad turned 60 in April 2020. For his birthday, I sent him a 1960 proof set and a circulated 1960D Franklin and told him to put it in his pocket, with instructions about carrying a piece of silver from your birth year for good luck. He says it does for him. I had a couple extra 1960D in my stash at the time so I threw this one in my pocket starting on his 60th birthday. Not pictured: 1962 Irish penny (on me almost daily) and a 1962 Mexico peso (most days). The 1921 S Morgan and 1933 half crown are locked up in the SDB and will be brought out again at some point in the future.

That Ike is looking great and I love the story behind the Franklin.
