A tiny Dutch piece of bronze I got recently: a half cent from 1912. Diameter 14 millimeters, weight 1.25 grams. Cute little coins and most can...
Yes, I should have clarified a bit more. The parcel delivery landscape has become horribly fragmented in the last few years with local delivery...
The delivery of signed letters from the UK over here has apparently been awarded to a bunch of corner cutting cowboys. After finding my last three...

Two more for the Victoria collection: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
