 I just thought of something that would look really cool. Get a new coin that you want to use as a pocket peice, take a picture every day of the coin for a long time, put the pictures together to make a time lapse of the coin wearing down. I don't know if any videos are out there but I just had the idea.

I like the idea. It would be more fun than the "look at how I aged over the year" videos!  |

You should pick up a MS-69 2015 ASE and crack it out! See how long it takes to get to P01! |

I don't take a picture everyday of my pocket piece 1992-S proof ASE, but once every couple of months. Thread can be found here: https://goccf.com/t/196729However, with wear starting in earnest due to lowered rims and sharing space with a copper medal, I might give this a try for a month to see how it turns out. Just need to get a set up where I can take consistent pictures. |

This is a really great idea, SSK! I'm sure someone using the right software could make this look spectacular.
I think starting with a high grade coin would be fun, so you could see it wear down through all the MS grades and beyond. I believe it would take decades for an MS-69 coin to wear to PO-01, so that's really not an attainable goal for the near future.
However, you could have a separate pocket piece which you could start out at maybe VF or so; that wouldn't take so long to wear down to PO-01.

Every day is going to be a bit much. Monthly or weekly it's not a bad idea. I never have the follow through!

Close, but not quite what you want - here's a multi-step animated image I made of the ultrasonic cleaning of an Iraqi riyal.  |

I agree, still a cool moving image. |
