I concur!

Maybe it's time I revived the tradition. Maybe a Mercury dime or something.

I wish I still had those worn early 20th Century German 1 Reichsmark pieces I used to have, they would have been good.

When I sold off the half guinea and halfcrown I had, I did carry an awfully battered 1945 florin for a number of years, that's still around somewhere.

Yes I do i have holes in my pockets so I tend to be handily cocky playing ball billards!

I’m nervous, it’s so shiny 😅

[SidS]

I've always used beat up coins for pocket pieces, I think it'd hurt inside to put a shiny in (even a bullion piece!)

Was thinking that myself lol. I want a new old coin that has little damage so I can wreck it...probably explains why I don't have one.

I’m looking at it like a bit of an experiment, I’m going to carry it around with me for a couple of years to see how it holds up. Will keep it in this capsule but once that breaks I won’t replace it and just see how it gets on

(The capsule already has a crack in it, so can’t see it lasting much longer 😂)

I had a coin arrive from GS.be that was milk spotted beyond belief, so bad that i decided it couldn't get worse. It's actually got better looking with the tones that have come out. It's the only other fondling/desk piece, but it's not often in the pocket.

Shared it the other day, but will share again for the patina appreciation.

I had a pocket piece an 1888 Morgan was in decent condition as well. Liked the fill of it in hand. One day had it in my hand and I really don't know how it happened but it flew out of my hand and went straight down a drain 🙄 didn't bounce just straight down. Gone forever 😰😰😓😖

When you guys loose your items I hope I’m the one that finds them.

Used to, for luck. Turned out all the luck it gave me was bad!

Well that was quite unfortunate:) may I ask which coin it was (for research purposes of course 😁)

[CollectorNo1]
