I have my Grandfather's silver dollar good luck charm , it was the first dollar he earned and carried it until his death. It's worn smooth on both sides & the good luck is still there .
I found this video to be informative, inciteful and educational. I enjoy contemplation of the physical properties of the coin and the review of its along with the imparted history and value. Silver is genuinely magic even when it is worn down to a smooth nearly unrecognized condition. Thank you for this video!
That’s so cool it’s a part of you now! I went into town today to watch Wicked the new Ozz movie. I saw a silver eagle in a shop window. 1995 well it was just too tempting. Next to it was a colourised luna tiger had to pop that one in my pocket too! O .89 ☃️ gone!
Thank you for sharing. I'm to afraid of losing a piece if I carried it daily. My only edc contains brass and lead. No need to get it graded if you will never sell it. Keep it naked.
If you can still make out the date, you should submit it to get it slabbed and graded and go for the coveted Poor 01 grade. That would be groovy and far out, Sal.
Now that's pretty slick, pun intended. Amazing, you haven't lost it by now! If you get it graded. It would be interesting. But you would have to start another one! If you ever do plan to get it graded, I would wait until it's 40th anaversary. I personally don't have a every day carry. I've though about it but I know I would lose it and that would devestate me. I would wear it out quicker just making sure it's still there! 😂🤟👍🙏🙏🙏
Silver alloyed with copper produces a harder and more abrasion resistant silver alloy. On the other hand, pure silver is very soft and has a Vickers Hardness of 54 HV. For comparison, Sterling Silver alloy consists of 92.5% Silver + 7.5% Copper and has a Vickers Hardness of 75 HV. The United States Mint formerly used Coin Silver alloy which consisted of 90% Silver + 10% Copper to mint their silver coins for circulation. Coin Silver was harder than Sterling Silver which the British used to mint their sterling silver coins for circulation. The Royal Canadian Mint used a silver alloy which consisted of 80% Silver + 20% Copper to mint their silver coins for circulation. 80% Silver alloy was harder and more wear resistant than 90% Silver alloy.
Thank you for this post it is very thought provoking and I enjoyed reading it and contemplating the why, how and what questions about creation of a durability of silver coinage.
Yes, I do. It's one of spegtaculars very first poured pieces he started selling. It's my lucky pocket piece. I carry it every day a 1.6 ozt hammered on the back and round like a coin with stars and his logo on the obverse. You asked, Sal.
Wow, I really enjoyed this video. I used to carry a generic round in my wallet. I took it out for fear of wear. Now I carry 3-1943 steel pennies, and occasionally leave one with a tip.
I’ve always wondered what these small seemingly insignificant things I’ve found in the Posessions of the Men I grew up around and the Men I’ve been lucky enough to get to know
You're almost to the point of a heavily worn Barber dime. I did a different approach. Peace Dollars were the last collectable dollar, so I collected them from 1986 and they came out with albums, but the only way to preserve them is in capsules. People go for that MS-70 hype with the wowie kazowie label, I just get plain ones that you can't tell the difference in them over the MS-70. I really like collecting these over Ike's SBA and gold $1 coins. I really like the Libertad's, I have some 1983's, nice thick coins, todays are good but a little thin. Austria messed up, I can't speak for the obverse but reverse should be the 2 headed eagle, old Russian gold has it too, they're beautiful, it's a european thing. Design is everything and the U.S. Mint lost their way except for ASE
I carry a ASE and a generic buffalo round. I like to chatter them just for fun. Nothing like the sound of silver on silver. Good thing that scammer violin player wasn't able to play your request. (I think you offered it up if she could actually play something)
Sal, it kinda reminds me of the caricature named 2Face from Batman cartoons, He always kept a large coin in his pocket and would Flip it for heads or tails to help him make his daily decisions. Did you ever flip the ASE at times?
I had one myself in my pocket too, a Silver Eagle but I lost it.. and I became afraid to carry another one.. I really liked to hold it, and I love the sound it made.. Question.. do you think I should give it another try? Also what sounds dose your coin makes now?
I carry a 2022 silver eagle but mine is in a direct fit holder reason that I have the 2022 that is the last silver eagle I got from my LCS guy before he passed away so that's what I carry On rubbing it's alright to rub the coin just don't rub one out 😅
I know people like eagles because if you sell you don't get taxed. I'm here to tell you that certain states exempt silver and gold from gains tax. State lines are imaginary, friends. Get your silver at the best price you can.
That’s pretty wild Sal. It’s barely recognizable. lol
Must before time Sal happy Monday ☕️☕️☕️☕️
Passion & Dedication!
Very Impressive!

I'll always love my pocket piece.

wow! i was not expecting that much wear! thats cool!!
Priceless ! Great show of a 99.9 silver US coin as carried in everyday pocket carry for luck. Great info as always, Thanks.
Ancient coin from the Salivation Nation. Some wear. 😂
I carry a 2023 Silver Eagle everyday. It's still looking pretty good.
I carry a 1921 Morgan in my watch pocket. It's nice to have some real money on me. Heavy Metal!!!
I sold 5 original orange capped tubes of mint fresh 1986 ASEs , not too long ago.
Had those tube's in the family since 1986. 👍
Thanks for sharing. Interesting topic. Happy Christmas.
I already carry too much stuff in my pockets. No coins. If I were to choose what not to carry it would be the cell phone.
Good afternoon Sal!!!
Love you Sal
Holy sh.. wow. That's a smooth coin Sal.
I don't carry a coin but I do carry a skeleton key from my Great Grandfather's house. 33 years now.
It looks good for something that has been carried around for so long
Wow!!! Now that is a slick.
Thank you for sharing. I'm to afraid of losing a piece if I carried it daily. My only edc contains brass and lead. No need to get it graded if you will never sell it. Keep it naked.
I have a couple of rocks my grandkids gave me that I've been carrying for around 7-8 years. Cool video Sal.
Now that’s a slick
If you can still make out the date, you should submit it to get it slabbed and graded and go for the coveted Poor 01 grade. That would be groovy and far out, Sal.

Why would you ever get it graded? I doubt it would even get slabbed,it’s not readable to put any info to the slab
Some people actually colect the lowest grade coins they can find, weird I know but its true.@brandongant9343

Yeah, but I wasn't expecting this answer. Kind of disturbing lol
2009 eagle in my wallet. I lost it once. The wallet was returned with the cash and coin still inside it. 😮
My pocket coin is a 2019 ASE, 5 years and counting.
34 years losses 10% weight;
306 years to go !
It's a keeper 🎉 and could probably stop a small cal. Bullet or a B B.MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE 🌲 💕 😺😺 SAL, Thank you for sharing your special coin 💕 😺😺
I carry a 2024 ASE. I've carried 3 other coins but the eagle is going to be my forever carry.👍🥈
Well it’s almost a planchette again Sal…
The old silver Eagle represents the height of American Power and Hegemony
That's one way of getting rid of unwanted microbes in your pocket! Even though it cost you a 1/10 ounce! 😂😂
I do, but I carry it in my wallet. So no wear.👍
Amazing !
Wow, it's almost smooth!
would be neat to see you try some nicodate on that
👍 Nice Sal
Still looks to be in VG condition.
Ha ha I have a 1922 peace dollar in my wallet for last 5 years. Had to masking tape it up because it was wearing out from sliding around
Aye aye aye! Poor silver eagle! 😢 Somebody play Taps for it, please! 🤧
A Silver Eagle in your pocket, mate I thought you were just happy to see me
What you forgot to tell the viewers was that you were 50 when you bought it.😁
Impressive
Wow, I really enjoyed this video. I used to carry a generic round in my wallet. I took it out for fear of wear. Now I carry 3-1943 steel pennies, and occasionally leave one with a tip.
wow - i have been carrying one for about 7 years, mine still looks like an eagle
Oh snap that's my birth year I got one of those as part of my collection and a proof.
I’ve found 200 year old coins metal detecting that look better than that 1990 silver eagle. Simply amazing!! Thanks for sharing.
Good morning Sal you suggested that I carry also years ago.I carry a 1oz Silver 🥈 round with the Serenity Prayer and a 1gr Gold 🥇 bar.🎉😂🥳.
It's amazing that you have been able to keep it so long and lose in the laundry or some other place.
I carry a Christmas angel round my wife gifted me ❤
I’ve always wondered what these small seemingly insignificant things I’ve found in the Posessions of the Men I grew up around and the Men I’ve been lucky enough to get to know
Thanks for sharing
Everyday carry!
Very cool sal I keep a Lil bit of silver in my bug out bag 🛍️🥈
Oh snap That's my birth year I got one of those and a proof.
I always have a carry piece but it's not a coin🤔😀. That eagle reminds me of a slick Morgan or Peace dollar. Interesting vid Sal 👍👍👍
Last carry piece I had, I ended up giving my niece at a barbecue.
So we now know sal is older than 34!!
Another reason Eagles are the bestest!

First time ever seeing this
Shoulda “Airtighted” it.
I carry a ASE and a generic buffalo round. I like to chatter them just for fun. Nothing like the sound of silver on silver.
Good thing that scammer violin player wasn't able to play your request. (I think you offered it up if she could actually play something)
Cool !!
I carry to Morgan's in my pocket everyday 😂
Hey sal I carry a 1880 Morgan dollar with a O mint mark
INTERESTING HOW THE COIN HAS DEGRADED JUST LIKE YOU HAVE.
I tried carrying a silver half dollar in my pocket and lost it in a week 🤣
😂 it looks like a blank!
😮
Sal, it kinda reminds me of the caricature named 2Face from Batman cartoons, He always kept a large coin in his pocket and would Flip it for heads or tails to help him make his daily decisions.
Did you ever flip the ASE at times?

On rubbing it's alright to rub the coin just don't rub one out 😅
Would you ever get it graded?
Cool
Mines a 1990
