Ya gotta' love wondering where these coins have been! I find many types of well worn coins attractive. SLQ'S and Busties to name a few Mike  |

Hey cavetroll I believe it to be 1964. Don't see any cladding. As for the mintmark have no clue. I like that seated half. Worn coins are cool. Never thought about collecting wornout coins but it is appealing to me more and more.

Now how did that kennedy get so much wear in 40 years? They're not used too often, and I doubt that even used frequently it could get that worn in 4 decades. Somebody wanna explain this to me? I'm thinking along the lines of artificial wear.

maybe it was a pocket peice and the person that had it in their pocket always had it in their hands rubbing on it

cool! you can tell by weight if it is a 64. Even in that condition it would weigh more than a silver-clad one would. The mintmark on the 64's is in a pretty protected spot, so unless the you can see a D (or the whole right leg and olive stem are worn away) it is a Philly issue. I see your reverse pic and it definately doesn't have a mintmark. Nice coin! |

I carry mine in my pocket (the Kennedy that is), along with a 1971 Kennedy in G4 and a 1980-D Kennedy in Fr-2, and I worry them whenever I can. Actually my pics were taken about 6 months ago and I suppose that it is now slightly more worn than the pics indicate. |

Thanks cavetroll for the info. Maybe this is the start of my own P01 collection.

I've never heard of P01. Is that poor-1? Yep, I think that wear came from tumbling in someone's pocket for a few years but how do you keep something so long without loosing it. I found a very nice 500 yen(roughly $5 US face value) commerative coin, with a gorgeous crane on it, while living in Japan. It was about the same size, or maybe slightly larger, than the Kennedy. I absolutely loved the design on that coin and decided it was going to be my "pocket piece". Suffice to say, I lost it in a month or two of pulling it out and using it in a magic trick or showing it off. To keep something in your pocket for a few decades would be quite a feat as I seem to loose my driver's license, wallet, or other pocket stuff alot more often than I'd care to admit.

Well I think this coin must have meant something to somebody. I carry a 1902 morgan with me as a pocket piece. It was the only coin that belonged to my wife before she passed. When I get dressed in the morning that is the first thing that goes in my pocket. At the end of the day that is the first thing that comes out. Nothing else goes in that pocket. I have been carrying this piece for about 2 years now everyday. If something means that much to somebody I can see them carrying it for that long. |

I have a 1918 walking liberty I carry around with me because it was the birth year of my grandmother, when she died I bought the whole family a 1918 walking liberty and some of them put holes in them and put them on their key chains and such. Needless to say she is missed alot and everytime I reach in and feel that coin I think of one of the best women I have ever been blessed to know
