I used to carry a 1971 S Ike in an Airtite, but I lost it. Don't carry one anymore.

I carry a 72 Ike my Nana gave me in an air-tite from time to time. It was previously circulated but I put everything she gives me in air-tites because they used to be my Papa's so I like to preserve it as he held it.
I feel like if it's in an air-tite in its own pocket it's not a pocket piece though lol, more of a keepsake that when I fiddle with it in my pocket it relaxes me, etc.

for almost 25 years I've carried a medallion of sorts, before that I had "worry" stones. Lately I've been carrying a couple Ikes and the other day I had a couple Kennedys in there with them. It gets a little heavy, but I agree with what was said above, I like the sound effect.

I've seen a lot of random foreign proof coins at shows for cheap. I think it would be interesting to have one of those as a pocket piece....

Maybe I'm a weirdo, but whenever I see a coin, I wonder what it would look like in PO-1.  Gothic florin, I think a nclt foreign coin makes a great pocket piece. You would be surprised how many people don't realize that other countries make commemorative coins  . It's very fun to show people my (now impaired) proof 1993 stanley cup canadian silver dollar.Besides, its sterling silver, and I like dropping it to hear that silver clunk. (note, I do not drop this coin on to anything that might damage it  ) |

I bought some bulk world coins recently. Amongst the coins, I was looking to find some new countries that I did not have in my collection yet. I was also kicking around the idea of having a pocket piece. I play quite a bit of poker, so it would be nice to use it as a card protector. As I was going through the coins, I found a coin with a decent weight and size. It is a 5 Bolivaires coin from Venezuela. It still has really nice luster and is from 1977. The Krause said it wasnt worth much. So I said hello to my first pocket piece.

cool choice stud722 Now you can play simon says like someone else on the forum does https://goccf.com/t/126401&whichpag...pocket,pieceAnywho, it will take a long time for the coin to wear out, even if the coin is kept in a pocket with other pocket change.(numista says its nickel). But still, its a cool half dollar size coin. I love pocket pieces, one of coincommunity's mottos is even "what's in your pocket?" Again, excellent choice in a pocket piece |
