1921-D Morgan dollar. Started using it due to the distracting stain on her cheek. Should be gone in a few months or so.

The half dollar was from my first proof set, and the canadian silver dollar was the first canadian coin that I bought. They are very fun to show people.

Well I chose to not use a coin of much value because I was afraid it would slip out of my pocket. Sure enough, after only a few months my two Presidential dollars ( from original bank rolls) had disappeared!

This is my Ike I carry. I started carrying him because I got tired of tellers having zero clue what I was asking for when I said "do you have any large dollar coins?". Still, half the time they go Oh, no, I have no half dollars.

That and I used to carry and spend them when I was a kid, so I am kind of attached to them.

Just one I started carrying awhile back. I'd call a PO1.
I'm trying to make it a slug :)

I actually have 3 pocket pieces (a 1971 Ike, a 1880 S Morgan and a 1935 S Peace) that are all sitting in airtights. I'm thinking of doing the same with a Susan B Anthony and a Sac coin from my collection.

I just can't bring myself to consign any of these coins to my pocket without some sort of protection.
