Hyperion

Im going to follow up both around and hope for a hole to develop in your pockets !!!

RYK

Thats cool!

It belonged to my late grandfather.

Thats quite a coin for a pocket piece. I still feel guilty buying my first St. Gaudens. I wont even put the slab im my pocket for fear that the slab may be scratched.

Steve27

You would do that to a 82 year old MS coin? Why don't you get a real pocket piece?

Hyperion

I had an old worn barber half as a pocket piece and wound up giving it to a bagger at the supermarket.
he flipped out. I had to tell him that it wasn't THAT valuable, but that you dont see 'em around anymore.

I bought a gold covered acrylic protected 1881-s Morgan to carry in my pocket. The heartbreak is if there wasn't so much garbage on the coin, it would probably grade out at MS66. The coin is just about PERFECT AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why do people do that?!?!?!?!?

You are kidding, right?

Someday, that $20 St Gaudens will look like this.........assuming you stay at it long enough!

mirabela

Why do that to a nice mint state coin? Why not start with some crappy XF or a cleaned one?

attractive ! (im serious)....
it looks like an MRI slice of a coin


The nicest pocket piece Ive ever heard of was a guy who had a $3 princess from his grandfather.. he didn't know the value of it, and just had it around. I gave him an airtite for it to preserve it from future contact, but it's great to have coins passed through a family.

I think you better keep it in a plastic round holder, or whatever it is called. That way it's safer, and you will be happier at the end

I hope she look's just like that some day! Then and only then will I re holder her.
Let us not forget an unused coin is like an unused nuke. It's big, shinny and its a sham it will never for fill its original purpose.

Hope I still look that good as I close in quickly on MS65 and Medicare this October--actually I don't. Keep hoping I can get reholdered---slabbed seems somehow not to be an attractive option. But I can still say--great piece!!

Baley

Jabba, if you're going to wear that saint down in your pocket, why are you starting with a mint state coin?

could have gotten an EF or AU and have a head start. Also, not "ruin" a mint state coin a collector might like

Love the VG Morgan idea. THEM coins wasn't used as bullion

Unlike coins, people all get slabbed eventually. We just look a lot worse doing it!

As for the Saint: Thinking about that coin in someone's pocket jangling around in lose change makes me want to cry or puke. I can't decide which...

Weiss

Wow. As a collector for 30+ years, I have to say your idea genuinely makes me angry.

My feelings are that we're custodians of coins. We're supposed to protect them. That's a coin that should be cherished, not destroyed. You can find a cleaned XF or AU saint that you can help by pocketing.
