<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1411612, member: 26302&quot;]IDK if its just their strikes or what but I can confirm for some reason Ikes wear quick. I knew a gentlemen who served under Ike in WWII and would always carry one on him. He said it had to be replaced every 4 years as it would go slick. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, maybe he rubbed on it a lot, I don&#039;t know why, but there is no reason for this man to lie and he pulled one out of his pocket he said was about 3 years of pocket wear and it was vg at best.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like I said, though, that might be from abnormal wear. Going from hoards found, for traditional silver and copper coinage it appears it takes about 40-50 years of average circulation at least to get a coin down to AG from BU. But, get a big half dollar in your pocket and rub on it intentionally every day, and I am sure it will be shorter.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, how about a kennedy instead? I feel bad wearing away a Franklin, but I thing a worn kennedy would be a true scarcity![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
