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.

Guns and coins in 1 thread, I don't think it gets much better. I carry a 1884 Morgan which was whizzed then polished. I will not say any more cause CC is illegal here ....for a few more months.. (WI)
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 .

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

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.

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 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 :-)

You're wearing off $3.00/day carrying it.
Oh, it doesn't look worst from wear. I enjoy carrying it.
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....

Packing this around since '06.
I also currently have a Columbian half and an SLQ keeping it company.

I keep it in an air-tite holder so it's not really a "pocket piece"
About 5 years ago I retired the quarter and started honoring my 1827 bust habit...
