Because of wear problems, it is perhaps irrelevant to grade a pocket piece.

A worn silver dime is small enough to be added as a small bauble or trinket to your key ring. As such, it would be subjected to severe wear. That's OK if it is only a cheapie in the first place. I would be happy to hole such a coin to carry it on a key ring.

A larger coin can be used for a pocket piece, but it would also be subject to heavy wear. I would suggest no bigger than a Half Dollar is best.

Australia attempted introduce a 5 Shilling silver Dollar sized coin into circulation in 1937. It was a failure because almost all people did not want to carry such a large coin around in their pocket. It was simply too large and heavy.

This coin and the other 3 small ones were added as grinders to the pocket as the large Silver Dollar sized coins were not wearing down fast enough on their own.

How it looked when it first hit the pocket back on 4/13/15.

That's a lot of wear for less than 3 years!
