<p>[QUOTE=&quot;+VGO.DVCKS, post: 4969955, member: 110504&quot;][USER=110350]@DonnaML[/USER], you brought back bittersweet memories with that Charles I &amp; Henrietta Maria medalet.&nbsp; I found one at a local coin show in the late &#039;80&#039;s, when I was just embarking on my second phase of collecting.&nbsp; It fell victim to one of what were then regularly-scheduled rent emergencies.&nbsp; But let me tell you about it.</p><p>In hand, it had beautiful, bluish toning.&nbsp; And it was neatly holed, from the top of the obverse, with much more wear on the reverse (from memory, both legends were clear, along with the date.)&nbsp; You could imagine some Royalist having worn it on their neck, maybe into the Civil War period.&nbsp; The net effect was &#039;content and esthetics&#039; --the numismatic equivalent of the Ciceronian ideal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
