    Never really did a pocket coin. Usually keep things in my pocket to a minimum.

    My pocket piece is a rosary given to me by my mom. I'm weird and can't have anything in the same pocket as the rosary. The other pocket holds my keys, change, etc.

    IMO ... That's excellent.

    This 1891-S Morgan is not my pocket piece. But, it sure looks like somebody used it as a pocket piece at one time.

    I don't usually carry a pocket piece. But today when I took my dog on one of his daily walks, I wanted to take a coin with me to look at. I put this old beat up peace dollar in a plastic holder, and put it in my pocket. So while my dog was sniffing around, I could look at my coin. After I got home, I put the coin away.

    I see that I'm not the only one who puts beater silver dollars into capsules to pocket carry them.

    I just feel guilty having these rolling around in my pocket against my keys, etc.

    My "table goblin" is keeping an eye on how I treat my silver . . . . .

    Yep! I can keep it in the palm of my hand, and my pocket and not worry about any additional damage. Even if I drop it on the ground!

    I realize that I am only the caretaker of this coin, and that I must keep this coin in the condition that I received it in, so future generations may enjoy it. :)

    The latest to join my "pocket carry" rotation. There is a story behind what led me to start with this one, but I'll leave that for another thread.

    That’s almost insulting. But since it’s not my coin, my money or my business...that’s really cool. I have a strong affinity for 1879. Ok, and I might be a little jealous.

    Separate pockets, of course. You NEVER mix gold and silver in the same pocket...

    Not my pocket piece. I bought it this way. Sure looks like somebody used it as a pocket piece once upon a time.

    My pocket pieces are a 1971 P Ike, a Teddy Roosevelt inaugural medal, a Denver Mint medal from a mint set. Been carrying them for about 7 or 8 years. They all started out as mint state. Latest addition is a Chinese counterfeit 1893-CC that I picked up on Amazon for $2 to see how good they were getting at fakes. Carrying it so that I have it next time I go to a coin shop to have them test it on a sigma to see if it reads silver.

    The key to using an Ike dollar as a ball marker is to put the dollar in front of the ball when you mark it and put the ball in front of the dollar when you put it back. Casually re-mark your ball a few times like that and before you know it, you can turn any putt into a tap-in! ;):D

    All had been cleaned or otherwise doctored in some way, so they are in my pocket now.
