    I tried to do a pocket piece once. But as someone who works from home it was kinda pointless so I gave up after a couple weeks.

    It’s a “wannabe” coin made by the mint, but it’s a new favorite.


    2 years in November.

    Some may think that you're playing "pocket pool". :D

    I carried this for a while, and gave it my grand daughter this year for her birthday.

    I guess the real question is why do some folks carry a pocket piece and did it achieve its purpose, i.e. worn down some of the previous cleaning hairlines, got to a F02/P01 grade, good luck, etc

    I also used to carry a Sesqui half, it was heavily scratched when I bought it and was nearly flat when I stopped.

    Not at this time. But having one not a bad idea. Maybe buy some vg raw barber 50c for that.

    My brother and his friends (all in their 60’s) carry silver dollars and eagles as pocket pieces. He tells me that whenever they meet for breakfast or lunch, they all must show their pocket piece. Whoever forgot theirs, the others charge with vagrancy for not carrying “real” money. That guy who forgot his has to pick up the tab. I think that’s pretty cool…. And funny.

    That’s a cool tradition. Any other answers to the question: why? I’ve always considered carrying one something my great-grandfather might have done, perhaps for good luck, or to use in a pinch.
