George, after riding in my pocket for 6 yrs.

[wainzoid]

Been carrying George in my pocket since he came out like 6 yrs ago. The lettering is mostly gone on the obverse. The back held up much better, and the lettering on the edge has held up fairly well. Sorry the pic is sideways and that I didn't post a pic of the reverse or the edge.

Now that is pretty cool. Poor George looks worn out. Now he's only worth 24 cents.

That much wear and tear from being in your pocket! Treasure's where you find it!
Maybe we all should check our pockets never know what we'll find!

Its the olde "antiques made while you wait", trick.

Correct me if I'm mistaken , but aren't these composed of zinc with a brass coating ? If that's the case - we should be seeing these detected in the
appalling condition that we are accustomed to finding zincolns in .
