So what do you think? Am I a little nuts? Absolutely not. There is nothing wrong with having your 7070 collection on your key chain..  Me, I'm up to three pocket pieces, a 1922 Peace dollar, a 1967 Kennedy and a 1946 Washington quarter. I just like the silver ring tone in my pocket.. |

About a dozen. Many of them are no longer looking cleaned!

NONE. A long time ago I got a hole in my pocket and coins fell out. So after that, as few coins as possible.

I always love a good pocket piece thread. The best pocket pieces, to me, are ones that came from circulation for face value. I've tired a few that I bought for a premium, but always seem to go back to the ones I snagged for face value and not a penny more.

Oops! I forgot one. I also have a 1961 (my birth year) Franklin half in my wallet. I don't open my wallet very often, since it only has 50 cents in it.  Ben ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Five:
2007P nickel
1965 quarter

No real stories. Just wanted to see how they wear down.

I always carry my lucky 1849 double eagle.
But seriously, even if the coin wasn't worth much, like a common Walker in XF/AU, Id be afraid of losing or spending after a long night out.

I carry a 1924-S Peace dollar (around Fr2 grade). I flip it occasionally to make decisions. |

Just an 1860 Baden 1 Kreuzer... accidentally bought 2 on ebay so I figured why not get some good use out of my mistake! |

3. A 66 Kennedy that is down to F2 and I hope to get it to P1. A 72 Ike and a 76 Type 2 Ike.
I use them primarily to illustrate to cashiers and tellers what I mean when I ask if they have any "big dollar coins". Otherwise they usually grab the golden dollars as I am saying no, not those.

2. 1 silver and one Steel / Polymer / Lead. I have carried the silver solo for the last 2 1/2 years but it isn't aging at a rate I had hoped for so I might have to add a few more to the pocket. I have my temporary replacement Ellis Island that I carried for a month when I misplaced my regular pocket piece that is next in line.   Any my (automotive) keychain. The bike keys are on a single loop otherwise the wind whips them against the side cover and all of the property keys weight a ton. Mo money mo keys mo taxes mo registration fees mo problems   Edited by jack jeckel

I'm not sure I understand. Why carry these around? Just like looking at them? As an aside, current US coins are worth so little these days, I actually avoid carrying any. Seem like the only thing they can be used for, is to even out the price of something so you don't get more change. It's not like you can buy a meal or even a drink will all change. At least not with some odd looks. Over in Japan they have the 500 and 100 Yen coins (~$5 and ~$1), and you can easily buy a meal with one or two coins. A thousand yen or less will get you lunch usually. Many men there have wallets with coin sections. A small handful of change can easily add up to the equivalent of $40 or $50 US dollars. |
