Right now I'm carrying a holed 1963 D Franklin half and a John Adams Dollar. Edited by Spider5689

9 quarters 11 dimes 3 cents a Buck penknife a set of keys I used to carry a 1903-O Morgan dollar as a pocket piece. Bought it BU in 1962 for 5 bucks. One day about 3 years ago I guess it came out of my pocket when I pulled my keys out. It was worn down to prolly F or VF. |

Wallet (which itself has the usual greenbacks & credit cards, etc, but I also have my coin want/need list typed in small print, so I can whip it out at any coin show at will), keys, pocketknife, pocket calendar, $10 in halves so I jingle when I walk- use for spending purposes, inhaler, lip balm. I have DEEP pockets  |

I just read through this thread and it kind of makes no sense to me. I know you are all coin collectors, but why do you carry around old money in your pockets? If you aren't going to spend it, why do you carry it. Is it to show to people? I have read a lot of posts in the past few weeks where people refer to pocketpieces. I had never heard of that before...is a pocketpiece just a random old coin that you carry around just for the heck of it?
I hope you don't all think I'm trying to be rude or poke fun at you, because I'm not. I just don't fully understand this...

I forgot to mention that on my key chain is a 1945 D silver nickel, holed of course. I often have old coins in my pocket because I sometimes bring coins back and forth to work. I have a nice microscope at work to look at coins at 40-60X. I don't carry old coins around in my pocket other than for that reason.

I'd be too afraid that I'd lose it or wash in the laundry or something. I get a lot of change throughout the day and of course I look at it immediately. When home I segregate anything that needs to be singled out and the rest into a large glass container and then eventually to the bank.
so.....keys......lighter........the days change......nothing special

Actually people carry them for any number of reasons and I bet Luck is among the top ten.
My 1976 Ike was a detector find. It was very dark and discolored when I found it. After 2+ years in my pocket it has lightened nicely.
