<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PlanoSteve, post: 25496842, member: 91609&quot;]I guess I&#039;ll jump in, but I want to stipulate that none of my experience is with &quot;gold&quot; pocket pieces.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have carried various pocket pieces over the last 40 years or so (again, none gold), and none of them have shown the uniformly distressed condition that this piece seems to show.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, I have been known to put coins in the rock tumbler (polisher) <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie67" alt=":nailbiting:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> in stage 2 with the ceramic media, (yes, I can be coin abuser at times <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie93" alt=":troll:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) and they come out looking exactly like that, especially the copper (those Zincolns won&#039;t take much abuse!). <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":inpain:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>So, I am not saying that I think the ASE is artificially &quot;aged&quot;, but it looks more like my tumbled coins than my pocket pieces. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>JMHO <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie83" alt=":singing:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
