Do you carry a silver Dollar in your pocket????

Sotty · November 3, 2007 5:43AM

I carry an 1837 reeded edge bust half in F and an 1937 Walker in VF.
My birth year is 1937, and I have been carrying these 2 coins for nearly 30 years.

1923 Germany 500,000,000 Mark by Karl Goetz

CoinKing1969 · April 6, 2008 1:42AM

Just seeing if anybody else carries a silver piece.

mgoodm3 · April 6, 2008 2:10AM

Got an 1880S and an 1886

INXS · April 6, 2008 2:37AM

Yep sure do.

FordRailroader · April 6, 2008 2:50AM

A 1999 ASE is what I carry since I lost my '92

Raybob15239 · April 6, 2008 2:53AM

I used to carry a 1901-O Morgan. Lost it down an elevator shaft... Had been carrying a 21-S Morgan (an unfortunate ebay purchase). I've got a few old and ugly Morgans that I rotate....

A 1926 Sesquicentenial Commemorative Half Dollar that I purchased from Outhaul

AUandAG · April 6, 2008 3:05AM

I presently carry a 1879-s reverse of '78 in Cleaned AU which is not not cleaned low AU. I also have a Walking
Liberty half dollar, 1942-d that has a "z" scratched into the obverse field. Good conversation pieces. I just
began carring them in the last 6 months.

1879 Morgan. Carried a Mercury dime before, but lost the dang thing so decided I should get something bigger.

That's one way to not lose your pocket piece

Meltdown · April 6, 2008 12:42PM

Here's mine...

linerguy · April 6, 2008 12:55PM

I carry a 1898 morgan and 1938 Walking Liberty Half.

Griv · April 6, 2008 12:56PM

I carry a 1994 1/4 gold eagle in my pocket. It reminds me of my precious daughter and you never know when the US dollar might not get accepted.

CB2597 · April 6, 2008 1:05PM

mrearlygold · April 6, 2008 1:08PM

Actually I carry a raw XF or so, double eagle from the 1870's in my pocket.

DJCoinz · April 6, 2008 1:10PM

I carry 3 silver dollars (2 morgans and a peace) and a walker.

Swampboy · April 6, 2008 1:18PM

Here's the ASE I mentioned earlier in this thread.
Going on a year and a half.

and six months on,

Elcontador · April 6, 2008 1:50PM

No, but I carry a 10,000 Colombian peso note, a 50 real (Brasil) note, and an amulet of Nuestra Señora de Carmen (the patron saint of Villa de Leyva, Colombia).

beep · April 6, 2008 2:14PM

I carry a 1896-o. maybe good by now.

CoinKing1969 · October 11, 2008 2:58AM

I thought this was a neat topic. Anyone else carry a silver Dollar?

CoinJunkie · October 11, 2008 4:40AM

Yes, a 1923 Peace dollar that an old gambling buddy in Reno once gave me.
I consider it a good luck charm. I also carry a *really* shiny (improperly
cleaned) 1810 half that I got on eBay for $50 a long time ago. That's a
real conversation piece.

Boothill40 · October 11, 2008 5:07AM

An 1886 Morgan.

mrearlygold · October 11, 2008 5:10AM

Nope, I have an 1877-S double eagle as a pocket piece . Used to be a solid XF coin. Now? Ha!

sumdunce · October 11, 2008 5:35AM

I have a 2005 silver eagle in a money clip I carry my paper $ in my pocket

don129 · October 12, 2008 3:57AM

I've had a 1971 IKE on my keychain for the past 15 or 20 years... reeding is almost gone and it is wearing nicely.

This thread has inspired me to cut the Unc. 1982 Washington Commem 1/2 dollar out of its mylar and start carrying it with me. It's been sitting on my desk for weeks and I haven't gotten around to putting it away... so here goes.....

DwaineO · October 12, 2008 4:11AM

Three morgans, two buffs, one kennedy, one standing liberty quarter, one silver dime, and several dollar coins are normally in my pocket at all times.

garsmith · October 13, 2008 12:09AM

No +1

CoinKing1969 · February 14, 2009 11:22PM

I still carry my 1881-S around. It is now getting a nice even wear.

hammered54 · February 14, 2009 11:25PM

an old simmion's 1oz silver bar.

anablep · February 14, 2009 11:31PM

Nope.

I don't like carrying pocket change, so why would I intentionally carry silver change?

Just because its silver? Nah.

mbogoman · February 14, 2009 11:41PM

Yup. An 1886-O Morgan that has seen many fingers...

MisterBungle · February 14, 2009 11:46PM

I have never carried a pocket piece.

The less crap I have in my pockets,
the better I like it.

bsshog40 · February 15, 2009 1:34AM

I carry a damaged and cleaned 1879

SkyMan · February 15, 2009 6:29AM

I generally carry a Peace dollar in my pocket, normally a common date/mm (starting condition low MS to high AU). After some period of time, 6-24 months, I'll give it away to someone I consider worthy/appreciative of getting it. Most people like seeing it and they often are interested when I mention that it is the only US coin with the word PEACE on it.

jmski52 · February 15, 2009 9:38AM

I don't know why I started carrying it, other than to spend it somewhere, but I still have a 1776-1976-D Ike Dollar that I can't seem to spend now.

Do you carry a silver Dollar in your pocket????
