Do you have a carry coin?

[madfranks]

I like to have a "pocket coin" that I carry with me pretty much all the time. I keep an 1853 $2.50 gold coin in my change pocket pretty much every day. The coin itself is one of the first I ever bought on ebay; it's well circulated, it's an ex-jewelery piece with solder on the rim, and it's been polished. So it's pretty ugly as far as collectors value coins. I also keep a Silver American Eagle in my inside jacket pocket.

So, what do you carry for your pocket coin?

I carry a 1921 Morgan for the year my father was born.

[sirgonzo420]

For a while now I've carried an 1880 Morgan Dollar from New Orleans.

I carry either an 1883 silver dollar which is virtually worn smooth or a cull 2005 ASE I grabbed for spot.

[NOOB]

1/10th GAE for me. Emergency stash and to show people what real money looks like.

As a NOOB... I used to carry an Eagle... but I losted it... :(

No... silver... LOL... I know my limitations... Even when I was carrying and playing and flipping the Eagle, I knew it would eventually get lost... :-\

The same reasons I carry mine. Those little $2.50 gold coins have .121 oz of gold in them, so just a tad higher than a 1/10 oz.

I do have a silver art bar that I put in my pocket when I go out and relax. That silver pocket piece is a 1-oz 1973 Mother Lode Mint silver art bar that says "Keep Me and Never Go Broke". A picture of this silver art bar is on post #2 of my "Silver Art Bar Porn" thread.

I never left. I am not posting nearly as much as I used to. I do not plan to post much this year because I plan to take several breaks from posting on GSUS, Cointalk, and Collector's Universe. Taking a break from posting helps me bring some balance back into my life.

All my coins goes into my #5 five gallons plastic water bottle..... almost ready for #6.

Not quite correct. The $2.5, $5, and $10 Indian gold coins have peace eagles on them too.

Oh the irony of portraying 'the noble red man' on a coin associated with the notion of 'liberty' when by that point there was a well established record of oppressing 'the noble red man' in N. America, depriving him of his lands and putting him on 'reservations'.

[MNeagle]

Thank you for the education.

I thought the eagle talon/pointed spears meant war. I never knew the wings/up/down was symbolic as well.

Hey Shami-Amourae, I just wanted to let you know that I just took about 2 Billion dollars from you. Since you are a multi-Trillionaire, you will not miss it. ;) :D ;D

I asked for one for Christmas 2009, and each of my sisters got me one! At $45, they're not cheap, unfortunately. (I think they were $40 at Christmas 2009, so you'd be ;) getting a better deal now than my sisters got. ) Here's the link (http://www.proudproducers.com/proddetail.php?prod=Silver1).

My favorite circulated coin is the Standing Liberty Quarter.

http://www.coinstudy.com/image-files/standing-liberty-quarter-grading.gif

I love carrying these. I like showing people 'The Quarter Before the Current One' even though we've technically gone through several. This came before the washington quarter.

[mightymanx]

Now that I am done coveting others coinage, here is my carry coin. This coin is in my pocket I have other PM items in my EDC bag, car kit, and bobs.

This was the style of the first silver round I ever had I bought it in tail end of 1979 when I was 6 years old. Sold it in 1980 for a profit, hooked on bullion ever since.
