Cool. Is that a little edge knock at approximately 9 o'clock in the first photo?

If you're referring to the two little "chips" on the rim, yeah, those have always been there.

However, in roughly the same area, you'll notice a bulge at the top of the L on the one month out and most recent pictures. The coin rim was dropped on concrete a couple weeks after buying it and now has flattened rim damage and a bulge like appearance.

Here are updated image of my pocket piece 1992-S proof silver Eagle (figured it was fitting for this to be my 200th post on this forum):

Any indication it is a proof besides the mintmark is pretty much gone. The breastplate armor is merging with the gown and the shield on the reverse is starting to wear away. I can't wait to see what this looks like in 10 years time.

I imagine it will look a like a well-worn Walking Liberty half dollar! Provided I don't lose it by then...

Like the way that 2014 is wearing down Jack. I've all but retired the 2013 I was carrying around. Just WAY too many scratches and dings, since I carry my keys and often some other small change in that pocket too. I've also been toting an 1883-O Morgan since late April, and it seems much more resistant to the dings.

Good to see what difference the 10% copper makes.

Cool...I used to carry a Morgan dollar as a pocket piece but got tired of the weight. Now it's my "lucky" companion coin when playing games of chance....
