I forgot to mention that I also let it soak in acetone for a few minutes and a quick wipe with a q tip. Probably twice in the past few years. Good luck.

It's really lovely, I have a 2014 sitting right in front of me in an airtight, I may just have to liberate her. I feel like it would get a lot more beat up rolling around in a purse. You've inspired me to find a suitable pouch for her.
Beautiful coin and story

If your wallet is in your back pocket, it gets subjected to a sulphur "bath" from time to time. That and more humidity than you might think.

Ha. I was never a back pocket guy. Just not comfortable and always somewhat paranoid of pick pockets. Always front right pocket. Little OCD too. Thanks for looking.

i opted for pocket piece instead of wallet piece. I don't care for carrying a wallet, so the ASE goes into my pocket each night before I go out. |

Are the selling premiums a bit less for ex pocket or wallet pieces?

Probably depends on the coin or token. A bullion ASE may receive a higher premium if it looks cool, but it sure gets knocked around and beat up. I guess the story can help raise the premium too. Some people are pretty superstitious. I have really been blessed in my life, so I could see someone paying more for a good luck charm with a pretty good track record. |

Front pocket, back pocket, still gets the occasional (smelly) sulfur bath.

My wife said "bath? More like swimming pool for you." She knows me well.

Imagine this was the 08-W reverse 07 casually chilling in a wallet for years.

Funny you mentioned that. About a year in, I checked it. Not sure where I read it, but remember saying "imagine that's been sitting in my wallet this whole time."
