Would You Wear This Gold Coin to a Coin Show?

Just wondering, I've always wanted a gold coin pin back but I don't have the funds to buy something just for the novelty of it all. Here's the question, just for fun! If you owned it, would you wear it to a coin show?? And if you wore it, would it be hidden on your hat or would you proudly wear it on your chest for all to see?

are you trying to make maximum people cry???

 

Nope

 

What a shame to a nice piece w eye appeal

 

But no.

 

I would definitely wear it.

 

You got that right! No, I wouldn't wear it either! I wonder what the buyers of these do with them? It has a couple of bidders already!

Big ol' scratch and polished. Yes I would. No point in
buying it otherwise.

 

I'd be afraid of losing it!

 

I wouldn’t. But then I have never been a blingy sort of fellow anyway.

 

I wouldn't, but if I had someone special accompanying me, she might be wearing this, as described previously in a post "My favorite, and only, gold coin" on 11/25/2020.


Even though the obverse would be appropriate for my deceased wife, she preferred the "family" representation of the reverse.

 

A word the the wise ... when you are going to and from a coin show, it’s a good idea to be as inconspicuous as possible. Years ago I saw an old fellow who had a tie clip that read, “I collect coins,” on it. Perhaps he could have also pinned a sign on his back just to make sure that the less than honest people would spot him.

 

I would drill a hole in it and hook up a water squirting thing for fun.

 

No way. I try to be a regular Joe when coming or going to shows. I also don't want dealers to take the stance they can get a little more money from me.
