Thanks. Actually, that was my very first UK Victorian coin which I purchased in 2002. Seems like a long time ago......but, I've been in love with the Swiss since 1983.
It is a comfort to me that when the time comes to pass a few of these pieces on, there are great homes to be found here with the members of this forum.
I basically completed my liteside Carver collection and it became apparent that I should work on the Booker T commemoratives also. That, and my Canadian interests dictate that I "focus" my collection down a little. That particular coin is gorgeous to behold.
