1901 VICTORIAN PORTRAIT COINS
It'll be a type set, 1901-dated coins only. Please let me know if I missed any 1901-dated coins that had Victoria's name and/or portrait.
Also, let me know if you have any of these for sale or trade, in any grade. I will try for high-end pieces but since I am just starting, some lower grade ones will be fine to temporarily fill the holes until better ones come along. I've been in "dealer mode" since selling the Irish collection off- it'll be nice to have a Darkside set going again. This one will more likely stay in the family. As many of you know, it is in honor of our own Victoria Hope, whose arrival in September of 2001 began the "New Victorian Era", a century after the first Victorian era ended! The 1901 type set also will include the 2001 Victorian commemorative 5-pound coin struck by the Royal Mint around the time our new Victoria was born.

Eric- thanks. I missed the British Honduras coins- I noticed the cents seemed to start with Edward VII in 1904, so I guess I skipped the others. I thought of some of the Indian Princely States- I wondered if any had the name on it in English. I saw some that had Edward VII and George V in crude English lettering, and one even had a 1901 date, but it was the same KM# as the Edward coins, so I wondered if it actually had Victoria's name on it?
Speakin' of Krause, did you get yours yet?
