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. 

Enjoyed this thread thank you all. @SilverDrumwhat coin is this? I absolutely love it.

[Dakaras]

Love the piece that Silver Angel Pouring did for me, its chunky but reminds me why we work hard and appreciate the beauty in life.

I carry a Italian 500 lire that my Grandpa gave me. I love the design.

I used to carry a silver kangaroo with me in my wallet, but I don't anymore. But I do have a few silver coins in my bug-out bag, in case I need them for barter. The potential for bartering is in my opinion the best reason to carry silver around.

I pocket piece carry a variety of coins in my collection (depending on my mood) from PMs (Au, Pt, Ag) to non-PMs. My favorite pocket piece is a 500 Million Mark denominated 1923 Germany Ruhr-Rhine Notgeld. Shown below is an 1855 Great Britain Victoria Shield Sovereign…

My pocket (actually, more a wallet) piece is an 2020 American Silver Eagle. I usually pull it out to spin on a table, make decisions that require entropy (I love the 'ring' it gives when I flip it), and generally destress when I'm waiting for things and want to avoid staring at market charts.

It might not be the most unique slab of silver, but I also like being reminded that it has several siblings back at the yacht.

Now that's quite some photo.  Vintage Rolex, silver pocket piece and what looks like a very smart pen (I have no idea about pens).  And I love the idea of 'decisions that require entropy' - being of course, increased disorder...

Anyway, tell us more about the siblings back at the yacht, are they all American Silver Eagles, or are the siblings made from atoms with different relative density?

Pen is made by Tactile Turn. Another fidget-friendly EDC and highly recommended, if you're into scribing apparatuses. And by 'siblings', I mean same parents but born on differing years.

Oh, and did I say 'yacht'? I really mean 'pontoon'... which sadly met its demise and is at the bottom of the bay now :(.

So today I decided this will be my pocket piece..

 

*Pocket piece update*
 

So around 3 months after living in my pocket everyday, the capsule broke. To avoid the coin getting to badly scratched I slipped it into my leather wallet. This is where the coin has lived ever since!

Who wants to see what the coin looks like now? 

[365DaysofSilver]

Here it is, not the best photos but in real life it looks amazing! 😍

[Stuntman]

Very nice.

I have a couple of old UK sterling silver coins (a Victoria Old Head shilling and an Edward VII florin) which had probably been kept in leather purses or wallets for several years of their existence.  The shilling has almost a black tone, whereas the florin has a purple, grey and black tone.

Your coin will probably darken more over time, so keep it in the wallet if that's what you would like. Otherwise, put it into some other packaging (or keep it loose) once you've achieved your desired tone.

Here's the florin - it's a 1905, so quite a rare and valuable coin:
