<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 8131893, member: 112&quot;]With all this talk about carrying coins in one&#039;s pocket to wear them down, I thought maybe I should show those folks who haven&#039;t ever seen it an example of what carrying a coin in your pocket for a &quot;while&quot; can do. </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin I&#039;m going to post a pic of here, I carried in my pocket, along with 4 quarters and a pocket knife, every day for 7 years. And not only was it in my pocket every day, it was also my &quot;flippin coin&quot;. You know what I mean, if I, or somebody else said - I&#039;ll flip ya for it - this is the coin what was fliiped. This coin was flipped, I dunno, at least a thousand times or so. And it was allowed to drop on everything from carpeted floors to wood floors, to concrete, to asphalt, and just in the dirt or grass. But bottom line, it took 7 years of all this for this coin to get look the way it does in these pics.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now a lot of folks on this forum, and others, have seen this coin (or another like it because I did this with 4 of them over the years) many times. But there are enough new members here that have never seen it that well, that&#039;s why I&#039;m posting it again, and to serve as an example. And, I seriously doubt that you&#039;ll ever see another one of these like this, unless it was mine. Because nobody else that I&#039;ve ever even heard of has ever done this - with one of these coins.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1416438[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1416439[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Of the 4 $50 AGEs, all different dates, that I did this with I spent 3 of them - at coin shows when I had run of cash, and there was still a coin I wanted to buy. No dealer ever refused to take one <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> So you might run into one of those 3 almost anyplace, or not, because I suspect they were all sold for scrap and melted down eventually.</p><p><br /></p><p>This particular one however was sold to a collector friend of mine, also a member of this forum, who wanted to buy it just because it was mine. And maybe because he&#039;d had to pay a couple of dinner bills when he lost the flip <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
