[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2681366, member: 112"]Ehhh, maybe. But that AGE only took 7 years, and I carried that specific one longer than any of its predecessors. And Kentucky, there were only 4 of them in total, not 10. :) As best as I can recall the shortest time for any was about a year, the other 2 several years each. And there was a constant, of sorts anyway, involved. For 40 + years I always carried a pocket knife and 4 quarters in my right front pocket. (Which is also where I carried the AGEs.) Over the course of a normal day I would additional pocket change as it was accumulated. But the next morning it was back to the norm - every day, it still is. In addition to that whenever a situation came about that required a coin flip to determine an outcome, and with me given my nature that happened a lot, the AGE would come out it was the coin flipped. Sometimes it would land on the ground, the floor, a table, my hand etc. The point I'm making is that it wasn't babied or handled with any degree of care. It was treated as an ordinary coin would be. It was the same with all of them. And in my estimation the degree of wear was always roughly the same at the various time points. The point of all this is this Jim - it could be done ;) Maybe not by you or me, but it could be done.[/QUOTE]
