<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 7386200, member: 85693&quot;]I&#039;ve been carrying around pocket pieces for years, world crowns and silver dollars mostly, sometimes a big AE.&nbsp; It varies.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In order to keep from causing too much damage, I strictly segregate my pants pockets - left pocket for keys and change.&nbsp; Right pocket my phone, a couple mints, spare COVID mask and...the pocket piece.&nbsp; Nothing in the right pocket that is metal, except the pocket piece.&nbsp; Once I got in the habit of loading my pockets this way, I don&#039;t even have to think about it anymore.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>After about 30 years I don&#039;t think I&#039;ve ever damaged anything, but any toning on a silver coin will be lost, and coppers tend to get unpleasantly shiny, so I don&#039;t carry them around as much.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for ancients, most of them are too small for me to feel comfortable carrying around like this - I&#039;m afraid I&#039;ll lose them.&nbsp; But a sestertius might work.&nbsp; And after enough time maybe it will smooth out.&nbsp; Keep us posted![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
