The dollar coin is wearing VERY slowly. Started it in 2008

<< <i>I like the look of the dollar a lot more with wear.
ditto! A coin that looks better in XF than UNC!

About 4 years of being rattled around with the other 6.
Retired pocket piece, IMO looks better with a little wear.
- The zinc is showing through. They are wearing very fast. I though it would be neat to see new coins being heavily worn.
- The coin dollar is the durable. I also carry one proof clad half and one silver proof half. I started the clad half the same day as the pres dollar and the dollar has less wear. Nice example of how coin dollars are durable and can take a daily pounding. A paper dollar carried daily in that same pocket would be nothing more than dust now.

Morgansforever, your silver dollars look like beach glass!
I'm curious to see how the 2010 Union Shield cents age over the years. To me they have the look of an old-fashioned type design, like a two-cent piece. I like them, and I think they'll have a nice vintage look and feel once they get some legs.
<< <i>I like the look of the dollar a lot more with wear.
Agreed. The brass bucks look really good when the circulate.
<< <i>Very cool! I too like the look of the circulated moderns.

Actually, I added a pair of union shields to my pockets about two months ago. They're already starting to take on a brownish color. The only problem is I think the zinc will wear them down quickly just like the 2009s I have, but looking at a typical 15-20 year old cent, they will look pretty niced with some age.

This morning (3 days after he got them as BU coins) I asked if he still had them, and he pulled them out of his pocket for me.
Apparently 3 days of my son handling a coin can simulate a year's worth of wear! If there were enough people that would pay a premium for that pocketpiece look, I think he could go into business. I'm actually tempted to give him a run of the presidential dollars, because I really like the look of the worn one from the OP. Sadly, I think they would get spent at the school cafeteria before they show any significant wear.
