I'll Be Turning My Heavily Toned ASE Into A Pocket Piece

How's it looking now DB?

Would be interesting to lodge an ASE in the inner workings of an idustrial dryer. Would make a heck of a Dryer Coin...

Or spooning one down to make a ring (A large ring)

I agree, All the ugly is gone now, but at the expense of details too. But that is what this is for.

My preference also is for ASE's that present with a blast white color, irrespective of condition.
I can understand why this coin could be used as a pocket piece.

It is OK as a pocket piece, but for most of the Public, who only have a lesser appreciation for numismatics,
crown sized coins didn't circulate much, because they weighed too much, and were too big to be regularly carried in pockets.

That got me to thinking:
How about a common date Mercury set in a removable bezel, and carried on a key ring?

Would still make an interesting item for talking about, and hopefully enticing a new individual to the interesting hobby of coin collecting

Hmmmm...you must carry her when you get all dressed up in your Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes! I was expecting more scratches. So far, well, so good!

That makes sense.
