    2006 ASE since I first logged onto the board.
    A denarius of Vespatian for about two years now.
    And, from time to time, a frankie or jfk which I invariably give away.

    I may have to buy a Governor (we have a one-gun-a-month law in VA - as I tell my wife, this means that you have to buy one gun per month :-).

    Sorry to stay off topic...but, as I'm sure that you know, they make some pretty effective specialty defensive .410 loads just for these guns.

    Safe shooting :-)

    That is SUCH a beauty!!!

    Not that it's a revelation, but the St. G. Double Eagle is the most beautiful U.S. coin ever buy such a huge margin!

    One day I'd so love to get a nice 1907 HR. Pipe dream no doubt, but fun to contemplate....

    In my pocket.
    1925 Peace Dollar and a 1854-O half dollar.
    The Peace dollar because it is my series and the half because it was made about 5 miles down the road.
    The peace dollar was polished and the seated half was full of fake color.
    They both look much better today than the day I bought them.

    I shot a Judge about three weeks ago, it was a fine piece.
    My piece is a 44 Special .

    Both decent and well worn.

    Sounds like the type of pocket piece that I'd lose the first month that I started carrying it.image

    The Latin phrase means "Though silent he speaks". It's the motto of a fraternal life insurance organization started in 1883 by Joseph Cullen Root called Modern Woodmen of America. It appeals to me because it's a reminder of the time I spent in Vermont doing, among other things, logging. image

    A man came to the shop yesterday with his wife. He was looking for 2 silver dollars for his sons. He picked out a decent 1886 O and an 1896 O in VF. He and his wife had been married 27 years (iirc) , and he pulled out his pocket pieces that he boasted having carried for "the past 19 years".

    An 1896 Morgan Dollar and Bicentennial Ike dollar 1776-1976.

    I have a scuffed & scratched BHOF Silver $1 ( BU) that I'm going to carry , starting tomorrow. Didn't look too closely
    at the Proof. The Proof may be flawed also.

    After losing 2 pocket pieces I gave up on carrying one. I should start again now that I'm not working any longer. There's less chance I would lose it now.

    I occasionally carry this touch piece with me on ward rounds, just for fun.

    I keep it in an air-tite holder so it's not really a "pocket piece"

    I carried this for almost 40 years...the coin that first infected me with "the bug".
