<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1997152, member: 19463&quot;]I need not point out that I don&#039;t have one either but if you really want a Henry VIII you can get other issues at a more reasonable rate.&nbsp; I always wanted one of the facing bust types but they are poor metal and wear poorly so low priced examples tend to be broken or just plain ugly.&nbsp; I settled for a 2d that was bought from a Frank Robinson sale in the 1990&#039;s but, since I was hardcore on the definition of &#039;ancient&#039; back then, did not get accessioned for several years by which time I lost the invoice.&nbsp; I have no idea how much I paid.&nbsp; In those days I bid more than now (I was working then) but not wildly.&nbsp; It dates to the earlier years when he was busy being chubbier than it appears in the HBO series about him.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]357293[/ATTACH] </p><p>The TC on the reverse refers to Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury who was instrumental in the separation from the Roman Church at the time of the Anne Boleyn marriage.&nbsp;&nbsp; I might suggest checking with your wife before buying anything but especially something connected with a guy anxious for an upgrade wife.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
