For a while, I was working on a 1901 British Empire type set for my daughter Victoria, so forgive me if I overshare here. I didn't complete it, but got most of the way there. I love how even at the end of Victoria's reign in 1901, there were a variety of portraits of her used, from Young Head to Old Head, and some resembling the portraiture of the famous "Gothic" types, too.

Finally got a Model Penny after seeing one posted here. I know there is several varieties but this type is fine.
Oh how I love sorting through job lots! These three picked up yesterday - Gibraltar 2 Quarts 1842/1 Essequibo & Demerary East India Company Stiver 1813 St Helena Halfpenny 1821 All three are fairly scarce and were not issued for long. I hadn't seen any of them before in hand. I still have a load more from the same job lot to sort through too.
Very nice paddy ! I'm looking to sort out my Gibraltar collection into better grades since the wedding there this summer I feel like I have a greater attachment too the place
