I had one (domestic order- a Seated quarter) take seven to nine months, as I recall. It arrived with the outer envelope looking like a forklift...
Pinned to a hat that is displayed in one’s office rather than worn to a coin show, on the other hand... I fail to see any harm in that. Unless...
Yes, the fear of losing it, as mentioned by @JayAg47, would be a very valid concern. My gold pieces hung only on the hat, not the vest, so if one...
I will say that hanging my old silver coins on a vest and keeping all that zipped up in a garment bag in the closet did result in toning over...
I once wore that getup to a Mexican restaurant after a show, because I was utterly foolish brazen and immune to wifely eyerolls at the time. That...
Neither was I- or am I, ... until. It was really tons of fun, and got lots of attention. I was a media magnet at shows. (Which I know is the...

Boy, that Domitian there is a beauty.
Old coins that had the dates hand-punched into the dies can be quirky. This is not a bad thing at all. That is a lovely piece; not only a cool...
I too have had this happen. And been on the other side of the equation, too, as a seller. Not so much in a storefront situation where a coin...
Ooh! Nice Sesqui! She's gonna look pretty in the TrueView.
Sound advice. Heed it.
