livingdinasaur Pillar of the Community United States 1571 Posts	Posted 03/19/2010 3:45 pm I would almost say the voting went 7 Canadian, 4 US. Not that we from "south of the border", have less respect for the Queen. it is that we show more warmth, and love for a grand old lady. Yes She will always be "VICKY", with all due respect and honor, but "VICKY". Dick Report this Post to the Staff

I voted for "Victoria", though around here we usually specifically say "coins of Queen Victoria" or "coins from the Victorian period" to clearly distinguish the monarch from the Australian colony (now a state) that bears her name. I've never heard anyone around here ever refer to coins with Queen Victoria's portrait on them as "Vickies". Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9864 Posts	Posted 03/20/2010 10:17 am I think it's ok to use Vicky,on a forum such as this(it reduces keystrokes),at a club,or coin show,anywhere where the discussion is familiar.I think Victoria should be used in any publication or offering of a coin for sale.
