Which Bullion For Pocket Piece

They both pretty much sell for the same price.

Here is the slight difference to consider. The Maple leaf is .9999 silver, the ASE is .999 silver, with the rest being copper. The copper theoretically makes it tougher to wear down in your pocket. The Maple Leaf will theoretically wear faster.

Wow denco I never noticed that difference of .9999

Actually after reading what denco wrote about the silver percentage, I would say go with the Maple if its the silver content your after. If its the design I like both the same. It really comes down to what you like.

Come to think of it, if it were me, I would get a Mexican Libertad. Beautiful coin.

I have decided for the ASE

Well that beats all pocket pieces mattt! My 79 morgan on its way from US will carry that as well

Common date Walking Liberty half in VF or perhaps EF condition.

Here are 8 reasons:
Half dollars don't circulate much
Not easily confused with other coins in your pocket
Not a huge loss if lost or stolen.
Arguably the most beautiful silver coin ever designed
90% silver.
Not overly heavy, or take up too much space in your pocket.
Of great curiosity value to those who have only very little knowledge about coins, which is most of the population.
That could make it a good starting point to a conversation.

It would make a good pocket piece as well for for other than American people.

Remember to take it out of your pocket before washing your trousers; the washing machine and drier may come off second best if you forget! In this regard, an Ike dollar would be a superior coin!
