My grandpa carried an 1817 large US cent for over 30 years. Upon his journey to the great beyond I have the coin in my pocket going on 3 years now. RIP grampa miss you
Save twenty minutes here. Three reasons. 1 - Because you want to carry a silver coin. 2 - Conversation piece. 3 - Motivation to work for fiat currency to trade for silver.
I don’t think if someone wanted to “save 20 minutes”, they would be clicking on a video about what a person keeps in their pocket. If they cared enough to click, they’ll care enough to watch. Just like you 😃
I usually have a Morgan dollar in my pocket...nothing too fancy, just a common date, lightly circulated coin worth perhaps 25 bucks, tops. I like to hold it and know there was a time when money was real and valuable; my grandfather once described the big old large cents as feeling "proud" and I found myself struck by the truth of the word. My silver dollar reminds me that people once appreciated real wealth in a time when life was simpler and less distracted. Maybe someone carried it to buy food at a local market or to tip a coachman. Maybe it purchased a train ticket for someone to visit a friend. It's history, it's art, and it's a piece of honest money.
Your comment put a smile on my face, I remember when I first bought my 1oz silver rounds, I was like wow "MY PRECIOUS" lol, Then I bought my first silver eagle and I just geeked out and imagine myself in a vault full them and swimming in it like Scrooge Mc. Duck from Duck Tales; 1990's tv show. Ive been a stacker ever since. Keep stacking
I've carried a silver eagle in my pocket since the late 80's. I get a new one every year to carry. My reason to carry one? Because my dad always carried one.
But they've only been making them since 1986. If you've been carrying around one since the late 80s, how could your father have been carrying one as a tradition before that?
@@firearmsstudent they were reintroduced essentially in 1986 after they took silver and gold (constitutional money) out of our money. I assume his dad carried a constitutional coin of some kind as a tradition; I don't think it sounds strange because I've started doing it myself a few years ago, because I like having God's money on me. It's nice having something that is real in your possession and it can become a good way to introduce uninformed folks to constitutional money and the difference between FRNs and real money. Just my 2 cents.
I’ve been caring around to Morgan’s for years 1921 and 1881 for exact same reason just love the feel of the touch and how it ping them together and sound it makes. It’s a thrill of not losing it constantly making sure it’s there.
I thought I was weird because I’ve been carrying a 1 oz silver bar in my pocket for a while but switched over to the American eagle. I’ll always carry one with me. Good backup if you don’t have cash and need gas or something you have $20-40 on you at all times. Plus it’s beautiful!
Carrying silver in my pocket saved my ass once I ran out of gas made it to a station tho and the attendant knew what the coin was worth and let me get some gas i believe he wanted it for his collection
I like your idea better than the one ounce suggestion. Half dollars aren’t used much in circulation, so it isn’t very likely to be *accidentally* spent - like a junk quarter or dime might be. Yet it is also more recognizable to non-collectors as a genuine US coin and can get you into a conversation about clad verses real silver coins. You could also more easily explain how you got it. (I’d use a Franklin half, I think, because it’s different from the clad Kennedys but not *too* old like the Walking Libertys.) Anyway, then you could say you “accidentally” stumbled upon it in a till where you once worked years ago or in a bank roll of halves. So you bought it out of that at face value as your “lucky coin!” (To me, carrying around a one ounce Silver Eagle screams “I’m a *stacker* and I *definitely* have much more then just this!”) That’s because you aren’t going to accidentally stumble on a Silver Eagle. You purposefully had to buy it. Whereas, a junk half is still a fanciful story, but it’s at least *possible* - if not fully plausible. You were just “lucky.”
I carry two pieces... A very poor condition 1888 Morgan and a new Eagle. When a conversation turns to "money", I break them out and say, "*ahem, this is money, *that* is fiat currency". Most times, the distinction flies right over their head. I also carry them for a bit of mental security. As long as I have them, I'm never truly broke!
I have carried around a couple of 1964 Kennedy half dollars for years. I like to carry two or three of them because I enjoy hearing the sound of silver jingling. I would never mistakenly spend them, because I always give a Kennedy half a good look over whenever I see one. I remember the first time my daddy plays one in my hand in 1964. I was 10 years old. I enjoyed the video. Thank you! I liked and subscribed.
I carry a generic silver round because one day I want to leave it as a tip at the restaurant. But unfortunately I have yet to get service worthy of the expense.
Reason #4 - In case the zombie apocalypse hits at that very moment, I can quickly barter for a tank full of gasoline to outrun the Mad Max caravan pursuing me! 😉
unfortunately, in that situation the gas is way more valuable/useful than a hunk of metal. better off carrying toothpaste/bullets for a true apocalyptic situation.
I go to a lot of expos for work and I carry a silver Britannia for the same first reason you mention. If I meet a fellow stacker from another country I gift it to them. I know I would love a coin from another country and collect different mints coins and it’s always nice to share a hobby you have with someone else you meet. I also work with coins on my desk as a reminder of my goals, thought I was the only one that did that!
I carried a 1oz eagle in my pocket the day i became an american citizen, had done since i started the process, did my interview and through to my day of birth as an american.
Good Luck, its not so bad, i learnt my history in a couple of days just rereading the facts again and again...thesecurity spotted my ase...and asked if it was for luck, i said sure...every little helps.
An old timer gave me a Morgan silver dollar once because he said he didn’t want me to be indigent, said there used to be laws against that and the money I did have (fiat currency) wasn’t real money 😉
Silver also has anti-bacterial properties so it can be used as a crude form of a anti-bacterial. I also have a silver round with a Bible verse, so it’s a great conversation starter about faith, silver, stacking and the like. That’s the pocket silver I carry, but I agree that it also reminds me to keep exchanging fiat paper money for “real” money whenever I can.

I carry a Morgan silver dollar in a money clip. (6 years). Gettin' a little worn, but I don't care. Has started more than a few conversations about my favorite metal. : )
You sound young; good on you for getting into it and being ABOUT it at your age. I was in my early thirties when I started getting down. I like to have a silver oz to remind me that this 25 dollar hunk of metal I used to be able to buy for five dollars when I was a kid! A continual reminder of the erosion of government issued currency.
I play golf everyday and I have some guys there who take care of me, they get me on the course for a discount, free range balls, etc, and these niceties add up over the months and years. A month ago I gave the whole squad 4-ounce silver rounds, one each, which included a nice flip open velvet container with certificate of authenticity from Apmex. They loved them. I had a good conversation about silver, the meaning of FRNs, etc. One of them was a stacker, so that was cool. Silver makes a great gift, that's all I'm saying. And it's a gift that keeps on giving now that we're in the bull.
Every single day I carry a minimum of 1 oz, usually my favorite piece. I’m obsessed w my silver. I love looking at it and feeling it and it’s weight, I also love the beauty and showing it to friends I trust.
I too carry a 1 oz. silver round on my person! A generic Buffalo round in an airtite case. Everyone I show is surprised and most have never seen silver let alone Gold. Going to purchase a 1989 (Year I was born) American Silver Eagle w/an airtite case and carry that one on me! Great video 😉
Most times I carry an 1886 US mint $20 Gold piece, it is the year my Grandmother was born. My father was the youngest of nine, the seventh son, Grandma was 46 when he was born. She is long gone, but he is 88 now, still going strong, CRS real bad though, you know CRS, right ? Can't Remember Shit !
I do like your third point as well. I went to the doctor the other day and could have been bad news. I brought a peace dollar to remind me to have peace. I didn't get the bad news but it took much longer than I would have thought. The coin in my pocket helped me keep my cool.
I keep my 1 ounce silver pocket pieces capsulated to protect from being scratched. The first ounce of silver I ever bought was a 2015 ASE. I was so proud of it I took it with me on my honeymoon to England and Italy.
There is at least one truly utilitarian purpose for carrying a fraction of your wealth around... ... paying for things! And in the case of Silver, one piece could make a difference in a pinch
I also have a Dollar drilled on my keychain. It is a 1976 bicentennial though. Didn't want to put hole in the real stuff. Also wear 1-2 gold chains every day
Yes... I have a 2019 silver eagle b/c its the year my uncle died and I carry it to remember him. Its in a flip in my wallet. Its in BU condition... I got a tube plus 1 last year after he died.
I live in a poor neighborhood and I want to look poor. We have plenty of petty thieves so I keep my home secure, stay well armed and keep my mouth shut to all but the most trusted friends. I won't even show my closest friends most things. The woman taking care of my dad stole his coin collection, got addicted to the pain medication meant for him and left him in his own facies. Don't trust your own MAMMA!
Same here i dont mention my wealth to anyone to much gangsters around here where i live in sweden now we arent even able to go out late at night because of the rules they set for people....
And I don't own the clothes I'm wearing, And the road goes on forever, And I've got one more silver dollar, But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider. And I've gone by the point of caring, Some old bed I'll soon be sharing, And I've got one more silver dollar
I carry a silver coin with me for the ferry man, Chiron. If I die and some greedy stranger takes it from me. They will be cursed with delivering me to the after life. EMS can keep it, it’s their job to deliver the injured, dead, or dying. I consider them to be the modern day boatman anyways.
Yup, my Lucky 1884 Morgan Dollar. All worn down, really circulated, flip it all day playing and use it for quick yes/no decisions at times- 90% right -lol. (have a few ranging from 1879-1921 in better condition, little circulation- love Silver)
Started collecting coins for sentimental reasons and that got me loving how bullion coins look. I bought a very dirty/tarnished 1993 (my birth year) ASE to keep it in my wallet to fiddle with. I experimented and cleaned it up. Looks new except for the buff and scratches I made. Purposely damaging it makes it easier for me to casually carry it and show it around. It serves to remind me of wealth building and how we grow and change over time. I also splurged on a 1993-proof ASE to add to my US 1993 mint coin-proof set. It's the contrast between something frozen in time vs living in the moment.
I’m watching this 3 years after posting and it’s a great topic because I do the same thing for the same reasons, it’s a great tool for networking! It’s also a tank of gas in your pocket
It's honestly not a bad idea to carry either a silver or fractional gold round on you. If you ever get into a tight pinch (I mean a very tight pinch) having 1/2 ounce of gold or an ounce or 2 of silver can help you get some quick funds from a pawn shop. For instance your car breaks down in town and you don't have any money to get it towed home, walk to the nearest pawn shop, sell the coin, and boom, instant funds. It's real wealth. It's a hedge against inflation, and honestly, it feels good to have a precious metal which has been trusted MONEY for hundreds of years. Paper currency and modern coins are simply that. Currency. A promise. Losing value day by day as infinite amounts can be printed. You can't print more silver and gold.
I wear a almost One ounce 1889 CC Morgan copy on my middle finger. I made it. .999 is to soft through. I love making my own nuggets also. We won't talk about my American River dredging dazzz... Eldorado baby!
I have been carrying a 1oz. Buffalo for about a year now. I speak to a lot of people about securing their financial future and show them how I have started. Good video, Thanks
I carry a 1922 Peace dollar and a 1943 Walking half dollar.. I wanted to know what 90% looked like everyday when it was used.. It stays polished with toning in the low areas
At work I actually found someone who is a stacker. He does not buy as much as me but I think that was kind of cool. Then I found another guy at work who said silver and gold is a good investment and he said the family has a sack of 90% that was left in the family. This I found out in just one conversation. You never know who is stacking or who has what. But if my co-workers really knew what I really had I think it would turn out bad.
Dad left me a bunch of silver dollars Morgan's and Peace dollars I've got an old Morgan this kind of worn out I carry it with me everywhere it reminds me of the gift I received from my father and I was never broke even when I thought I was because I had those coins that I never realized and now I'm stacking I'm going to give something to my son someday so I carry that silver dollar in my pocket every day
I've carried a Morgan 1901 since I was about 11. My grandpa gave it to me about a month before he died. So, for about 30 years it's been in my wallet. Also... silver is supposed to ward off spooky ghosts.
Mums the word on conversations about coins, you don’t want to advertise you are a collector. Trust no one excluding family members. That’s real talk. Stay safe.
Interesting video. I too carry around pocket silver. I'm following the tradition of my grandfather and carry a silver dollar. He carried a peace dollar so I follow suit. To me the historic value adds one more point to the intrigue. For history sake I would carry a Morgan but the tradition here is a peace.
My pockets are full enough as it is, wallet, coin purse, case pocket knife, cell phone, keys. I am finally debt free now and cut up my credit cards so I pay cash for 95% of what I buy now. I do sometimes take a couple silver rounds to the farmer's market to see if anyone wants to barter though.
😕😭 I had my American silver eagle i carried for like 3 months and obviously slipped out my pocket it’s been 2 years and till this day I’m trying to find it. In all my pants and shorts jackets.
I been carrying a 1LB fine silver slab with me for a little over a year to show everyone And push it off to sale, ive ran into a few folks that make offers then I think about it a moment and say not for sale.. it's so satisfying
I carry around the first eagle i ever purchased 2 years ago a 1993 ASE and I'm planning on getting a morgan and carry one as well and hopefully pass them down to my children in 30 years
Reason 4 Emergency real money to cover small critical expense. Reason 5 To bless someone in need. Reason 6 Last minute gift when you've forgotten an occasion. Reason 7 Tied in a piece of cloth as make shift weapon. Reason 8 You may never get back home event. Reason 9 To remind yourself that you are never broke in a fiat world.
I carry 2 generic Buffalo rounds: the very first one I ever bought, and one I picked up a little later that was obviously pre-owned. It has a little wear to it, some light scratches, and my first impression was that it had been carried for good luck before. It just has a good feel to it.
How is that not completely tarnished and toned and full of milk spots?? I've found ASEs and silver maples both very prone to that. Maybe I got a bad batch. But no more for me. Perth mint makes way better bullion
I have a French silver Sower coin (1963 5 Francs with 83.5 % of purity) in my hand while watching your video ! I can't stop fondling this coin... I don't think Walking Liberty can be confused with other coins because she has a unique design and halves don't circulate that much
Gave 2 AU Franklin half dollars to a lady that was soliciting donations for a good cause the other day and made sure to tell her that they were silver and worth about 6 bucks a piece.
Yes I got pocket silver. I do carry sometimes percentage ( otherwise known as junk or world silver) silver but I purposefully cary coins you would not mistake as pocket change like 1780 Austria Maria Theresa Silver Thaler AU/BU. Just whatever feels inspiring that day.
When i was young , an old man that lived down the street ( Mr. Price ),Gave me a completely worn Morgan dollar. At least i believe that's what it was , hard to tell. anyway, he carried that dollar, in his pocket, for 40 plus years. He Met Henry Ford with that dollar in his pocket, among other, less notable experiences. He gave it to me, only a few days before he died, when i was very young. I returned the coin to his son,( Mr price as well, lol) in the form of a metal sculpture --many years later. it is now hanging on the wall in the cabin that original Mr price built, by hand,,,,, with- you guessed it, he built it with that coin, in his pocket. I love to stack because of this experience. However, i do not carry a silver dollar in my pocket as of now, i think i will. Because of this video,, and i like it!
Why i love silver coins in my hands or in my pocket ? Because of SOUND, shine and feelings what it’s worth something ( not like my country currency made of wooden junk ) ! At age 28 I can hear frequencies up to 19.5 kHz and a lot of people don’t understand me what I’m talking about... Recently I bought Morgan dollar 1921 and this sound is the most exiting what I hearing ! But to be honest, for me it’s a bit ridiculous to wear something what is almost 100 years old... Aaand i had replaced it with Eisenhower dollar (1971 S), not too big and sounds great. I’m really happy what I’m not alone wearing and flipping coin when everyone shaking pens and other fidget stuff in their hands.
I have carried silver coin seance i was pre teen. Not always the same coin. But grandpa did and so have i for the past 30+years. Grandpa said you never know when you will need a hair cut. I throughout the years I've paid for hair cuts with silver coins.Im 44 this year.
My thing is every year I get a brand new silver eagle of that year and carry it in a direct fit holder I been doing that for good luck and I always study the coin

I too carry a 1 oz. silver round on my person! A generic Buffalo round in an airtite case. Everyone I show is surprised and most have never seen silver let alone Gold. Going to purchase a 1989 (Year I was born) American Silver Eagle w/an airtite case and carry that one on me! Great video 😉
I'm carrying the Aztec calendar. Gorgeous design, and the feel is just amazing
I would have to carry a LA Olympic 90% Silver commemorative for my birth year.
Same here I carry a 2018 silver eagle on my pocket. I love it. And ever since I been good with money. It's my lucky coin
I always carry a pickle in my pocket, You know, just in case.
I have one in my pants lol
"That what She said"
Can I have a baby carrot in my pocket all the time?
Most times I carry an 1886 US mint $20 Gold piece, it is the year my Grandmother was born. My father was the youngest of nine, the seventh son, Grandma was 46 when he was born. She is long gone, but he is 88 now, still going strong, CRS real bad though, you know CRS, right ? Can't Remember Shit !
lol I’ve been carrying this 1 oz buffalo in my pocket everyday, everywhere since 2018 when I started for same reasons. Guess I’m not alone
I have a 2018 maple leaf in my pocket since you bet it 2018
I have a gram of lint in my pocket.
I carry a 1 oz bar with me lol
@Keen Jones So do I!
I do like your third point as well. I went to the doctor the other day and could have been bad news. I brought a peace dollar to remind me to have peace. I didn't get the bad news but it took much longer than I would have thought. The coin in my pocket helped me keep my cool.
I keep my 1 ounce silver pocket pieces capsulated to protect from being scratched. The first ounce of silver I ever bought was a 2015 ASE. I was so proud of it I took it with me on my honeymoon to England and Italy.
Did you marry your silver coin ?🤣🤣🤣 How lucky you are, Lady Liberty is gorgeous 😍
I got my Buffalo Round I been carrying since 2016. its been in my wallet all these years. It feels Good to have Real Wealth on me at all times.
There is at least one truly utilitarian purpose for carrying a fraction of your wealth around...
... paying for things!
And in the case of Silver, one piece could make a difference in a pinch
I completely disagree, tell nobody!!! It’s the safest rule of stacking!!
Rules are for the obedient 😎
thats how i would keep my precious metals, no packaging i could careless if they get scrathed, its the weight and purity that matter to me
Silver is silver regardless of the condition! Unless of course it’s a collectible coin 🥈
Won't the weight decrease over time?
I have a 1923 peace dollar with a hole drilled in it on my keychain. That’s my pocket silver. I also have a gold chain that never comes off!
I also have a Dollar drilled on my keychain. It is a 1976 bicentennial though. Didn't want to put hole in the real stuff. Also wear 1-2 gold chains every day
I've got a 1922, came with the hole, so I keychained it
I always carry a modern commemorative... they hold up better, like a classic silver dollar. 90%
Yes... I have a 2019 silver eagle b/c its the year my uncle died and I carry it to remember him. Its in a flip in my wallet. Its in BU condition... I got a tube plus 1 last year after he died.
I live in a poor neighborhood and I want to look poor. We have plenty of petty thieves so I keep my home secure, stay well armed and keep my mouth shut to all but the most trusted friends. I won't even show my closest friends most things. The woman taking care of my dad stole his coin collection, got addicted to the pain medication meant for him and left him in his own facies. Don't trust your own MAMMA!
Same here i dont mention my wealth to anyone to much gangsters around here where i live in sweden now we arent even able to go out late at night because of the rules they set for people....
My grandfather got me into collecting, he got me a few silver eagles.. and died that year, too bad his coin collection was spent by my aunt...
carried $200 in mercury dimes on motorcycle today felt like an anchor, felt good!
And I don't own the clothes I'm wearing,
And the road goes on forever,
And I've got one more silver dollar,
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider.
And I've gone by the point of caring,
Some old bed I'll soon be sharing,
And I've got one more silver dollar
i carry a ben franklin half dollar in my pocket everyday. i was born in 1954 and the half is a 1954
I carry a little 1 oz poured piece with me, just love giving it a feel occasionally
I carry a silver coin with me for the ferry man, Chiron. If I die and some greedy stranger takes it from me. They will be cursed with delivering me to the after life. EMS can keep it, it’s their job to deliver the injured, dead, or dying. I consider them to be the modern day boatman anyways.
I thought the ferry across the styx took two coins, but eh virgil paid and I was pretty drunk so what do I know.
I would carry one also. but clothes designers decided women don’t deserve real pockets in our clothing . Smfh.
Agree! Good pockets are the first thing I look for when I venture out to buy shorts or slacks. If they pass that test, then I'll see if they fit :)
Yup, my Lucky 1884 Morgan Dollar. All worn down, really circulated, flip it all day playing and use it for quick yes/no decisions at times- 90% right -lol. (have a few ranging from 1879-1921 in better condition, little circulation- love Silver)
Started collecting coins for sentimental reasons and that got me loving how bullion coins look.
I bought a very dirty/tarnished 1993 (my birth year) ASE to keep it in my wallet to fiddle with.
I experimented and cleaned it up. Looks new except for the buff and scratches I made. Purposely damaging it makes it easier for me to casually carry it and show it around.
It serves to remind me of wealth building and how we grow and change over time.
I also splurged on a 1993-proof ASE to add to my US 1993 mint coin-proof set. It's the contrast between something frozen in time vs living in the moment.
I’m watching this 3 years after posting and it’s a great topic because I do the same thing for the same reasons, it’s a great tool for networking! It’s also a tank of gas in your pocket
Stacking buddies are to bomb. Stacking friends=Birthday silver
🤣 for the past year I've kept a 2015 silver eagle in my pocket everywhere I go.
It's honestly not a bad idea to carry either a silver or fractional gold round on you. If you ever get into a tight pinch (I mean a very tight pinch) having 1/2 ounce of gold or an ounce or 2 of silver can help you get some quick funds from a pawn shop. For instance your car breaks down in town and you don't have any money to get it towed home, walk to the nearest pawn shop, sell the coin, and boom, instant funds. It's real wealth. It's a hedge against inflation, and honestly, it feels good to have a precious metal which has been trusted MONEY for hundreds of years. Paper currency and modern coins are simply that. Currency. A promise. Losing value day by day as infinite amounts can be printed. You can't print more silver and gold.
I wear a almost One ounce 1889 CC Morgan copy on my middle finger. I made it. .999 is to soft through. I love making my own nuggets also. We won't talk about my American River dredging dazzz... Eldorado baby!
I carry a Morgan silver dollar. Gave one to my son to carry to replace his silver quarter.
I have been carrying a 1oz. Buffalo for about a year now.
I speak to a lot of people about securing their financial future and show them how I have started.
Good video, Thanks
I carry a 1922 Peace dollar and a 1943 Walking half dollar.. I wanted to know what 90% looked like everyday when it was used.. It stays polished with toning in the low areas
At work I actually found someone who is a stacker. He does not buy as much as me but I think that was kind of cool. Then I found another guy at work who said silver and gold is a good investment and he said the family has a sack of 90% that was left in the family. This I found out in just one conversation. You never know who is stacking or who has what. But if my co-workers really knew what I really had I think it would turn out bad.
Dad left me a bunch of silver dollars Morgan's and Peace dollars I've got an old Morgan this kind of worn out I carry it with me everywhere it reminds me of the gift I received from my father and I was never broke even when I thought I was because I had those coins that I never realized and now I'm stacking I'm going to give something to my son someday so I carry that silver dollar in my pocket every day
I've carried a Morgan 1901 since I was about 11. My grandpa gave it to me about a month before he died. So, for about 30 years it's been in my wallet. Also... silver is supposed to ward off spooky ghosts.
Same. My grandpa carried 1817 large cent
Mums the word on conversations about coins, you don’t want to advertise you are a collector. Trust no one excluding family members. That’s real talk. Stay safe.
Interesting video. I too carry around pocket silver. I'm following the tradition of my grandfather and carry a silver dollar. He carried a peace dollar so I follow suit. To me the historic value adds one more point to the intrigue. For history sake I would carry a Morgan but the tradition here is a peace.
I keep a Kilo taped under my ‘69 Chevelle.
I just love the Maple's. They are my favorite of the commonwealth coins.
Maples and AUS Roo's, they make me feel like I am taking from her majesty. Small letters on purpose.
My pockets are full enough as it is, wallet, coin purse, case pocket knife, cell phone, keys. I am finally debt free now and cut up my credit cards so I pay cash for 95% of what I buy now. I do sometimes take a couple silver rounds to the farmer's market to see if anyone wants to barter though.
I like your #3 point. Kind of point things into perspective. Don't forget that grind, be the bank!
When I carry silver, I carry a Canadian Maple Leaf and it is inside a clear plastic coin case. That way, no mistakes....and it stays pretty!
Cool..I’ve been carrying a silver eagle since 2014. I carry it as a reminder of wealth and abundance . It is a symbol of real money.
😕😭 I had my American silver eagle i carried for like 3 months and obviously slipped out my pocket it’s been 2 years and till this day I’m trying to find it. In all my pants and shorts jackets.
I believe Actual milk spots are from the stamping process, they dont just appear over time. They are actually stamped in
Impurities
I like carrying an 1887 $10 gold eagle in an air title for luck. It’s worked well so far! It’s a lot lighter than an ASE as well.
I been carrying a 1LB fine silver slab with me for a little over a year to show everyone And push it off to sale, ive ran into a few folks that make offers then I think about it a moment and say not for sale.. it's so satisfying
I carry around the first eagle i ever purchased 2 years ago a 1993 ASE and I'm planning on getting a morgan and carry one as well and hopefully pass them down to my children in 30 years
Reason 4 Emergency real money to cover small critical expense. Reason 5 To bless someone in need. Reason 6 Last minute gift when you've forgotten an occasion. Reason 7 Tied in a piece of cloth as make shift weapon. Reason 8 You may never get back home event. Reason 9 To remind yourself that you are never broke in a fiat world.
Mykie. Would you be open to a dealer direct source and possibly earn income to get more?
Nope!
I carry 2 generic Buffalo rounds: the very first one I ever bought, and one I picked up a little later that was obviously pre-owned. It has a little wear to it, some light scratches, and my first impression was that it had been carried for good luck before. It just has a good feel to it.
I could be (silver) coin checked any day of the week. I'm with you bro. Keep up the good work!
I carry a1884 Morgan..... love the feel of it, it’s my fidget toy
Fondling it is great too !
How is that not completely tarnished and toned and full of milk spots?? I've found ASEs and silver maples both very prone to that. Maybe I got a bad batch. But no more for me. Perth mint makes way better bullion
Great video and yes,
Yes I do carry a silver pocket coin.
At almost all times I have a 1oz 1982 Mexican Libertad in my pocket
I have a French silver Sower coin (1963 5 Francs with 83.5 % of purity) in my hand while watching your video ! I can't stop fondling this coin...
I don't think Walking Liberty can be confused with other coins because she has a unique design and halves don't circulate that much
Gave 2 AU Franklin half dollars to a lady that was soliciting donations for a good cause the other day and made sure to tell her that they were silver and worth about 6 bucks a piece.
@Dennis Leese over 10 buck's..there is much more where that came from.
Yes I got pocket silver. I do carry sometimes percentage ( otherwise known as junk or world silver) silver but I purposefully cary coins you would not mistake as pocket change like 1780 Austria Maria Theresa Silver Thaler AU/BU. Just whatever feels inspiring that day.
First rule of fight club its that you don't talk about fight club!
I don’t follow rules
When i was young , an old man that lived down the street ( Mr. Price ),Gave me a completely worn Morgan dollar. At least i believe that's what it was , hard to tell.
anyway, he carried that dollar, in his pocket, for 40 plus years. He Met Henry Ford with that dollar in his pocket, among other, less notable experiences. He gave it to me, only a few days before he died, when i was very young. I returned the coin to his son,( Mr price as well, lol) in the form of a metal sculpture --many years later. it is now hanging on the wall in the cabin that original Mr price built, by hand,,,,, with- you guessed it, he built it with that coin, in his pocket. I love to stack because of this experience.
However, i do not carry a silver dollar in my pocket as of now, i think i will. Because of this video,, and i like it!
Why i love silver coins in my hands or in my pocket ?
Because of SOUND, shine and feelings what it’s worth something ( not like my country currency made of wooden junk ) !
At age 28 I can hear frequencies up to 19.5 kHz and a lot of people don’t understand me what I’m talking about...
Recently I bought Morgan dollar 1921 and this sound is the most exiting what I hearing !
But to be honest, for me it’s a bit ridiculous to wear something what is almost 100 years old...
Aaand i had replaced it with Eisenhower dollar (1971 S), not too big and sounds great.
I’m really happy what I’m not alone wearing and flipping coin when everyone shaking pens and other fidget stuff in their hands.
That's pretty good. Most people can't do that in their prime.
Where to buy silver from? If from a coin shop, how to know if reputable? Thx
Apmex. Not the cheapest but 100% legit
I just started stacking silver. Its feels good looking at it knowing it's not a fiat currency. I love the heavy weight of it also.
I have carried silver coin seance i was pre teen. Not always the same coin. But grandpa did and so have i for the past 30+years. Grandpa said you never know when you will need a hair cut. I throughout the years I've paid for hair cuts with silver coins.Im 44 this year.
My thing is every year I get a brand new silver eagle of that year and carry it in a direct fit holder I been doing that for good luck and I always study the coin
