How long do you keep a pocket piece in your pocket?

I have a 1936 silver dollar I've been carrying in my pocket for at least the last 5 years. It started out as a harshly cleaned AU but now is down to Fine condition. If I could find the scratched 1904 Philippino peso I had I'd switch. My 5th grade teacher has a Morgan dollar he'd been carrying for 30+ years that had worn down to Poor condition, but I don't feel like letting this one get that slick.

 

How long do you keep your pocket pieces until you switch to new ones?

This is the coin that got me started collecting back in 1963. I have carried it ever since. It was an XF when I found it.

This is mine. Been carrying it for about 4 yrs now.

That's interesting Bobby.... My pocket piece is an 1879... but of the O variety!

Usually until I lose it.

Usually until I lose it.

 

That is why I no longer carry the two pocket pieces since I lost them.

I won this details coin on a Heritage auction with the intention of making it a pocket piece. However, when it arrived, I liked it too much to make it pocket piece even though it had been cleaned so it's still in it's holder.

Agreed. That is a really nice lookin CBH that you wouldn't want to ruin!
