    Hey cointalk,
    I found an Ike dollar while looking through my pile of coins, and I found this Ike $ that I put away, it will make a good friend with my current pocket piece! I always wanted to have two pocket pieces because the jinglin' in my pocket tells me they are there, I check if its still there every minute if I only have one. and a twin? my pocket will be heavier now :) image.jpg

    Very nice! I've always wanted a pocket piece but I worry that I'll lose it. Your idea to have two sounds like a good plan.

    Thats a nice pocket peice.
    For awhile I used a 1888-O hotlips that was cleanded and found in a junk box, low grade. But I didnot want to loose it so I put it away somewhere safe, not sure where now. Its safe from me but I know I will find it if I look around.

    a coin can't be lonely, it is just a coin.

    Well, actually, one of the definitions of lonely is "solitary". So if you have a solitary coin in your collection, it is lonely. Therefore, when you add another of the same type, it is no longer the solitary coin in your collection, and is no longer lonely! :D

    coins are not sentient.

    Being solitary doesn't imply sentience. It implies a singular noun that exists.
    You take the word "lone", as in "a lone coin in my collection" and simply add the LY to specifically define the nature of it: "the coin is lonely".

    But I digress. I'm glad your coin has a companion, Ricky. :)
