SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 11:32 am I have a 1970 Canadian nickel dollar - not really a pocket piece, but has been my flipping coin to decide who throws first rock at the curling rink for the last decade...

jack jeckel Pillar of the Community United States 5208 Posts	Posted 04/13/2015 7:47 pm I had thought my 3 pocket pieces would have gotten more beat up at this point but since they are all dollar size coins I wonder if that has anything to do with it so I will be adding a 1964 dime and 1964 quarter in there to help grind them up. It's hard to get a good photo but in hand if you move the coins around in the light you can see the polished wear against the original frosted surfaces. Current grade as of 4/13 Report this Post to the Staff

aardspeed Pillar of the Community 921 Posts	Posted 04/13/2015 8:16 pm Here is my "pocket piece"....well, really on my keychain, but goes with me everywhere.... I had a real coin in there at 1 time until I noticed it started wearing it down, so I put a "COPY" coin in it's place to literally save face.... Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 04/14/2015 12:38 am I got to start doing this sooner or later. The problem is I wear thin shorts in the summer time and often times I've had things such as coins fall out. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 04/14/2015 12:39 am That's the reason why I often times don't carry coins on me. Report this Post to the Staff
jack jeckel Pillar of the Community United States 5208 Posts	Posted 05/16/2015 9:50 pm The current state of the pocket. If I had better photography and lighting skills I might be able to do the coins justice. They show a whole lot more wear in a dark room against a light (I guess that is according to other posts why TPG's don't wear gloves or use magnification just a cubicle and a light) http://goccf.com/t/223332 Report this Post to the Staff

hcmusicguy Pillar of the Community United States 814 Posts	Posted 05/16/2015 11:56 pm And here I thought the 2013 ASE, 1883-O Morgan, and 1953-D Franklin half (which is only there to un-polish it) that currently go around with me was a lot! Report this Post to the Staff
Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 05/17/2015 08:41 am I just started with a morgan and a franklin. I have found that more than 2 silver coins is a real pain in the ear. How did people back then not go crazy with high pitched church bells going off in their pockets with every step pre64? Report this Post to the Staff
jdiablo30 Pillar of the Community United States 946 Posts	Posted 05/17/2015 08:59 am This is more of a wallet piece then a pocket piece. My birthyear is 1988 so when I saw this was from 1888 I felt like I needed this. Now this resides in my wallet. I work construction so having items in my pocket doesn't go to good with my tool pouch and me having to move so much. Anywho Report this Post to the Staff

Luckily the rim scrape and the rim bumps from when I dropped it in the bank parking lot one time have worn out. If only I could accurately capture the beautiful purple and blue toning it has developed. Report this Post to the Staff
Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 05/18/2015 02:55 am I want a pocket piece, but am not willing to risk anything from my collection. I'm thinking about getting an extremely worn Morgan. Report this Post to the Staff
