Kind of goofy. Do you guys carry around your Cobbs to show off?

I don't carry any around, but that's too bad for him that he lost it. Not a good feeling for sure.

It didn't seem like the guy was trying to show-off, it was more he cared for the present very much. Almost like Bob Costas with the Mantle in the wallet story.

Four of the five minted 1913 Liberty Nickels are in AU58 to MS64+ condition. The fifth is VG at best, because it was kept in the owners pocket,for many years, as a good luck charm.
So I believe that the story is true.

I also believe it to be true. You can really get attached to a card ! This has been in my wallet for at least the last 25 years!
