Do you carry a pocket piece?

This thread stems from another, but it made me curious as to who carries a pocket piece, what it is, and why exactly they carry it.

The original inspiration went something like this:

and yes, Doug... I am curious as to what your pocket piece is.

I carry two pocket pieces.

One is a counterfeit 1838 lettered edge bust half. They stopped lettering halves in 1836, but the lettering makes for really fascinating conversations when I show it to novices.

My second is more of a challenge coin of sorts. I have a group of friends who all carry Canadian 1967 "Goose" dollars. It is ALWAYS with me, and reminds me of my friends who care about me.

 

Do you mean a 45 ACP compact or .357 pocket piece?

I have a 2001 Kennedy Half I am trying to wear down
Reason: Just because :goofer:

 

1921 morgan, AUish condition. I like to flip it around often.

 

I've been trying to figure that out lately.

 

I carry a 1976 Ike Dollar that is incredibly worn down. I got it in the mid 80's and realized it must have been a casino coin from Vegas due to the extreme wear and tear. I keep it for good luck and hope to wear it smooth. It won me an important coin toss in college, so it holds great sentimental value.

 

I would have one, but I'll probably loose it

 

I dont carry a pocket piece but have been trying to think of the right coin in my collection to be a candidate. As of yet I havent decided on one.

 

Yes... 1/4 oz 1991 AGE (in a air tight)
It reminds me of all the gold I once owned...LOL

My pocket piece is a 1994-D Kennedy Half. I have carried it since 1994. I had a pocket piece before that - a 1985 Kennedy Half (I'm not sure of the date now) but I lost it. Why do I carry it? For the same reason as rdo:

 

Don't you guys loose them? :bigeyes: I'd have no coins left by week 2!

 

I carry an X/F 1938 d Walking Liberty Half in an airtite. I love that coin and yes it makes me feel lucky.

 

Here's mine.....

 

1972 Ike and a bicentenial Ike together in a plastic flip.
Its my security blanket

My 3 yr old likes them cuz they are shiney, reminds me of her.

 

I dont but now that I think about it, it would be really neat, I should do it.

 

I like the idea of carrying a pocket piece. I'd never thought about it before. Trouble is I'd have trouble choosing so I'd probably end up with a pocket full of coins which I couldn't spend.

 

LOL, Me 2



But seriously, my pocket piece is a rare quarter eagle.

 

Yes, I carry a 1913 liberty nickel everywhere I go lol

I might start carrying something though

 

Glock 27. or somedays it may be a S&W .40 M&P.

I used to carry around a Morgan but it disappeared one day never to be found (by me) Then I started carrying around a Sacky. I couldnt keep doing it, started giving me nightmares. Man thats an ugly coin.
