Charles I Angel and medallions

[TomGoodheart 380]

Just in case anyone has a spare(!), I'd be interested in adding a Charles i touchpiece (pierced Angel coin) to my collection. 

I'm also after smaller (about 25mm) Royalist badges from Charles I reign. Anything I don't have or different from mine. Not quite coins related I know, but still numismatic and the market is hardly flush with interesting material at the moment, so I thought no harm in asking..  see below for a pic of the sort of thing I'm talking about (the one shown is a museum replica, but gives you the idea..)

His majesty might have a "spare". 😄 Great items to collect!

Have you come into some money? They aren't exactly cheap. Nor are they the sort of thing that you have duplicates of. There can't be too many types/specific marks with multiple examples available. I've been looking for a couple of overmarks for more than 10 years and am still waiting

The absence of things I want to buy, in the quality I want to buy them in, has allowed the pocket money to build up a bit. (The only advantage to having a rather niche collecting interest!) And hopefully a touch piece might be a bit cheaper than an un-holed Angel! Particularly as I don't mind which mint mark it has.

Yes, a bit of a long shot, but it would tick both the Charles I medallion and apotropaic amulet collecting boxes!

Still looking for the above! 😁

What about Elizabeth one’s?

I know nothing about these but what a pleasure it would be to own. Beautiful.

Me neither, but I do so love these historic things! I bought a cracked plaster/mould of Elizabeth I from, I’m told, a GIII fire surround, that was subsequently framed in an extravagant Victorian black frame…I absolutely loved/and still love it!

Also, looking through ‘the sale room’ for Elizabeth material, I stumbled across a couple of food boxes for sale in Wiltshire…how bloody amazing is that? Just to sit beside these wonderful things!

What fun the boxes are! Fortunately Elizabeth is well outside my collecting area so I don't have to worry about her! 😂

Though I have been slightly drawn to a couple of Charles II badges. Must resist!

Thinking about how I might just trip along to this auction in January, I noticed the BP at 37% - I know we all bid accordingly, but that’s greed in excess, surely?

Oh my goodness if technology could ever look upon her face!
