For just £5+P&P I am happy to offer this as a service for any coin!

I carry this just in case I run out of petrol 😉.

Bet there are less than 78 thousand left in their sealed packs so its more of an occasional good conversation starter that's kept in good order. 

Cost me £40 post inc.  😃

Ive got a number of fondling pieces, this is a beautifully toned (rather than horribly tarnished) silver shield round, complete with a couple of delightful dings.

Will crack the ol' three graces out of the silly PF70 case, and post it over! What a deal!

Surprisingly enough, I do not have a pocket piece. I have a pocket. I have a piece. One would think I should have a pocket piece! Maybe it's the hole in my pocket preventing me from following through on this. I should really get that sewed some day 🤔

20g BYB piece I got hold of earlier this year fulfills this role for me!

I don't have a pocket piece, at least not at this time.

If I would live in the US, I would use one because their constitutional silver is just great but here in Belgium they are big, heavy and ugly ...

Never have. Bought might be an interesting conversation opener, so might start carrying a dime or quarter pre-1965.

More of a desk ornament/paper weight than a pocket piece to carry. Although I do like to play around with it sometimes while watching YouTube videos.

I’ve read this thread numerous times and didn’t contribute as I didn’t think I had a pocket piece but actually realised I do haha 

my pocket piece consists of a holed 1949 half dollar slung on my work keys.

better late than never.

Looks like 1949 to me!

If you had a 1964 Franklin I'd be interested!

You were quick!! 
I realised my mistake and edited it what I thought was fast.

I just found it in the nick of time then! 🤣

Isn’t that one of the “£5000” Kew Gardens 50p?! 

i didn’t torture my coin myself I got it in a bulk deal, got a lovely half dime which is holed just needs to be a bit bigger.

[SilverDrum]

It "was" one of those @Scaffstacker🤣 not mine by the way!

Hello all,

It’s a phrase I’ve heard a few times now since I started stacking silver earlier this year.

‘Pocket piece’ - Apparently it’s when you carry a piece of silver (or gold) around with you, in your pocket. 

I think I’m going to start doing this, as I often want to look at my silver coins but it’s a long process getting them from storage each time just to do so.

I’m going to pick a coin over the weekend to keep with me at all times 🪙    

What are your thoughts on this?

Do you have a pocket piece that you carry around with you?

If you do, can I see it?

 

My first thought when seeing the topic name was to wonder what @HerefordBullyun would respond, although a few others seem to have had similar thoughts.

A few years ago, I used to carry an 1847 USA Large Cent,  except that this one had been altered, slightly clumsily, so the the reverse lettering had been changed from

ONE

CENT

to 

ONE

C*NT

There is more about it here:
