<p>[QUOTE="BlackBeard_Thatch, post: 3080894, member: 85208"]Do you mean holed after the signing? I doubt it, you gotta realize it was not celebrated as we do today because British soldiers were present in the colonies who were underpaid and highly corrupt and at this time the American Revolutionary War was almost in full swing, the final straw for the British would be the Declaration of Independence which would make you a target for wearing this maybe, "Are you a Militia member? You better come with me". Plus you were a wealthy person to have a gold coin like this so wearing it around made you a nice target for theives or even to be harassed by British or Militia soldiers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
