  Nick Graver submitted these thoughts on the relative merits of wear on "pocket pieces". -Editor

  Pocket piece versus display? Medals are rightfully collected and preserved as works of art. But, when inscribed to an individual, they have added significance and history.

  Carried in the pocket, they acquire an extra dimension of charm - but numismatically, would be ‘condition graded’ as they show wear.

  Might readers contrast the ‘desirability’ of an Uncirculated inscribed medal versus a ‘used’ one that the recipient carried?

  Similar is attaching a loop for wear. Worse, is one holed, and worn.

  I have a rare inscribed medal showing signs of “use.” It is the only one I know of, so the condition is just a small factor. Discussion?

  What to E-Sylum readers think about this? -Editor
