Thanks, I can't believe that out of the 1000 dealers and million items that I could only find one item to catch my fancy. There was not one Victoria medal on the floor. For that matter the medal picking was really sparce, the only one that I saw that was even interesting was already sold.

That's cause you went to the wrong show. Lots of pretty Vicky material at NYINC.

Now you tell me

There is a difference in travel time and expense. I am only an Hours Drive north of the FUN show.

Been there, got that. When it was issued. To celebrate the dawning of the New Victorian Age, when MY Victoria was born.

I'm collecting her a 1901 Victorian type set, as most of you know, but this coin is also part of the set, for obvious reasons.
