    a worn as of emperor Claudius and two nickles - 1994 D and 2002 P.

    ... I have a feeling you'll get a lot of pocket pieces in this thread! (Most of mine would better be termed couch pieces, to be honest)

    LOL....by that I meant that I dont have any old coins that I carry with me regularly, like an old Morgan or what have you. I was, in fact, very surprised to find the old wheat cent.

    I make it a habit of checking every coin before I put it in my pocket. Much less likely to let one slip through my hands that way.

    I was about to sya, looked like you listed a wheat cent. Nice find for the pocket. Did you know that it was in there? Only things I have in my pocket are my phone, and a 57 D Franklin in BU that I carry around sometimes for luck.

    Phoenix :cool:

    I would do that but I dont carry my loupe with me everywhere I go and without that I cant read the dates very well. I always go through my change at the end of every day before I put it in my jar. Plus, I dont use change when I buy something. I always pay with bills that way I get more coins back.

    I had no idea that was in my pocket. I'll save it back with the rest of my hoard of wheaties.

    of course it is silly, he didn't show the gold coins that he had in the other pocket.
