    I've been carrying one of those prez dollars of John Adams for about seven or eight months now as a pocket piece. Abuse it harshly, use a little Ajax Cleanser to restore the shine then spray with WD-40 to keep it from tarnishing for at least 29 minutes. It's just something to have along, start a conversation if the situation arises.

    The spooky thing is, I have no idea how I got this coin. :eek: Going thru some SBA and SackyJos in my nonsilver, but not Ike, box and there is Johnnie... Nope, sorry, I should remember this coin cuz I'm only a pocket change/junk coin collector.

    Twilight Zone Theme.

    I'm really surprised he hasn't been on more coins. Guess he wasn't one of those important presidents... :rolleyes:
