This is a cool idea.

It' looks as if you are rubbing off the original surface and some luster is coming through.

Do you show it off when digging for change?

And really nice photos to boot!

Reminds me of the Picture of Dorian Gray.

I have some coins I want to put in your pocket, because the strike seems to have gotten better between 10/1/04 and 10/30/04! Cotton balls, over the ear, oak leaves.

Either it's the lighting, the dinging up, or your magic pocket.

It's the shining up. It's looking a bit polished and shiny now. At first it was kinda dirty also.

Odd, the 10/1/04 pic look like it has more wear. Look at the hair above the ear.

Coin went from an AU50 to AU53 after 2 months of "wear"

When the local coin dealer gets in what would be a nice coin if it wasn't for a light scratch or some crusty stuff, he puts it in a sandwich baggy with a number of other coins and carries them around in his pocket. It might take several weeks or months and a coin might lose a little on the grade but he usually ends up with a coin that is quite nice and lacking much of the evidence of its previous problem.
