I'm more an Austrian/Holy Roman Empre collector myself but Brits are quitre popular here, and I understand collecting Victoria coins can be a challenging and enjoyable lifelong persuit. Are your reading interests related to your collecting?

There are plenty of folks here who collect and sell Victorian era coinage. MacCrimmon and Lloyd have expertise and examples that most can only dream about. Ajaan, Farthing and Avarel all collect some Victorian as well and know quite a bit about the genre. Many others have nice specimens as well, including a chap named hetman who occasionally pops in to gloat about outsniping me on an ebay purchase.
If you have a digital camera or scanner, show us some of your collection!
I read a book about the Thirty Years' War - I buy a Ferdinand II coin.
Read one about the First World War and into my collection pops the Kaiser!
Sounds like you may operate similarly, are the diaries based in Victorian times?

That's your cue, jester!!
Sophia, wybrit's a sly sage and has an incredible depth and breadth of choice British coins including Victorian. Watch for his Brit Tip series!
Now, excuse me, but I have a date with a 16 year-old and a 35 year-old.....
Single-malts, that is......
I'm afraid I don't have a scanner wybrit and my digital camera don't work. I guess you'll just have to imagine my collection. It's pretty naff by the way. No special foreign coins. I've got a few commemorative £5. My favourite coin are my roman ones a friend of mine found on a dig somewhere.

May be soon I'll get my first coin with Victoria, and I solemny swear here, that I'll post the scan of the coin to the forum!
Two more things: Is it rainy now in England?
And the last thing: could you tell me please, what is it "ballroom" - it means ballet, or something else?
Edited to add: P.S. Sometimes Wybrit has really nice ideas...
and Happy new year!!!!

1. It was raining badly on new years eve so not many fireworks
2. Ballroom dancing is old fashioned dancing were a man and lady dance together in a ballroom. It is nothing like ballet.

Edited to add: Hi 1jester. I have 6 cats, a load of books and tons of coins. One of my cats happens to be called Jester!!!
I have been collecting Victorian coins dated 1901 for my daughter, Victoria, who was born 100 years later. I am branching out into ALL 1901-dated Victorian-portrait coins of the Empire, not just the homeland. So you see, you're far from alone in your collecting interests here.
Here's a Victorian coin I recently picked up for myself, though Little Miss Victoria may end up with it one day. It's a proof 1893 half-sovereign.
We have two. Penny the Monster is by far the most photographed. There is a picture of her doing her world-famous "Turn off the Lights" trick on my eBay page.
I catch it now: ballroom it just pair dances in ballroom !
Sometimes it takes me time to understand...
Edited to add: LordM, your Penny cat looks exactly like one of cats of my parents! We shell need to check their pedigree !

Here's a picture with all three, featuring our other cat, who is rather geriatric and has a weak stomach. (O Joy.)
i like the waving cat on theboz11's reply!!

No kidding?!

Wybrit says I have some nice coins but he's really the expert on things British. My knowledge is very limited; I'm here just to soak up the seemingly endless knowledge of others here. So I don't post much.
Happy New Year too.
