I have a Peace Dollar which has been buffed to a high shine from 30+ years in my pocket.
How about you?

    I have a couple of Ike dollars that I have been carrying around for about 25 years that are slowly wearing down.

    I don't carry it around every day, but I sometimes carry a 2007 bronze Jefferson's Liberty Spouse medal. Started out looking MS69RD, now it's probably AU55 or so and has a nice RB color to it. It also has a little rim ding now too since i'm apparenly too clumsy to flip it up in the air and catch it, hahaha.

    I have a 1926 Sesquicentennial half and an undated Draped Bust large cent (probably a 1798). Both were heavily damaged and circulated when I bought them and I figured I couldn't do anything but improve them. My five year old twins have me flip the large cent to see which one has to go into the bath first, Aidan is always "the side with the lady" and Matthew is "the side with the leaves".
