I thought it was acceptable to pocket piece a coin? I guess that's just to remove hairlines? Please educate me here, I just thought it would be fun to do... if accepted by the hobby!


Yes, but it'll take you a decade plus to wear that to P01 in your pocket. Thought you knew that and were planning something mechanical.

If it circulates exclusively in your pocket, or a thousand pockets, it still circulates. That satisfies the purist, and is therefore an acceptable way to "un" clean a coin as well.

No SD, that's what I was wondering. How long in a pocket to get to p01. I was thinking 3-5yrs.. 10 is a bit much but if 04s is such a low pop at p01 grade maybe it's worth it?
I wonder if the 10yrs could be reduced by using 3 morgans in the pocket?
Also, it must be like loosing a limb when someone finally stops after years of it or them being in their pocket...

People pay more money for a coin that is essentially destroyed? I don't get it...


Can not be totally destroyed. Need MINT DATE YEAR. But Bicentennial IKEs do not need a clear date.


IMHO, TPGers (and) coin enthusiast invented another way of coin interest-collecting. Natural for persons to want the ultimate WHATEVER.

Personally I am weighing my BU IKEs for heavy and light weights. Got some interesting results going.

One thing I like about PO-01 is there maybe fewer SLABed IKEs in the low ball arena, than say MS65 stuff.

No insult interned.

It will be harder than u think to get it to PO-01. I have been putting miles on a .999 silver round for a good solid year and silver is more resilient than one thinks. In that Morgan you will be fighting 10% copper, too. Give it a go.
