To add to the recent payment-in-stamps, I've now also been sent this presentation pack of excellent ducks!

These ones will definitely be kept for the collection, which is quickly turning into a random jumble of both used and mint condition stamps but idc they're all pretty 😄

Happy 100th anniversary of birth to the late Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty would have been 100 today.

In honour of the occasion, here are four images, three gold-coloured (not actual gold) coins, and some art:

1) The 1st portrait by Mary Gillick, from an Australian pre-decimal penny: https://coinofnote.com/1963-australian-penny-keyring/

2) The Arnold Machin portrait on the first circulating pound coin: https://coinofnote.com/1979-isle-of-man-pound/

3) Jody Clark portrait with memorial dates, on 2023 Sydney Opera House 50c: https://coinofnote.com/2023-sydney-opera-house-50th-anniversary/

4) Two composite images together - left: A picture I made, of coins with each of the portraits overlaid on a larger image of a penny with the Mary Gillick portrait. Right: A picture I bought of the Queen's portrait made up of stamps of her image.

Received today on a #postcard from #Bulgaria via @postcrossing. The "stamp" is just a slip of paper with the value written on it by hand, which is then stapled to the card. Does anyone know what the language is on the bottom line? #Romanian?

Something which crosses hobbies is always of interest to a wider group. Here is an article on US Postal Notes. As the article in E-Sylum describes, "The post office charged three cents for each note, which could be used to forward sums up to five dollars" (Can anyone clarify exactly HOW these worked? I'm unclear). This one from 1883. https://www.coinbooks.org/v29/esylum_v29n09.html#article3

Hoy, en #Feditelia, nos vamos conocer a Perico el de los palotes, pseudónimo que usaba, de vez en cuando, la chistosa de Carmen de Burgos, escribiente por antonomasia teniendo en cuenta que diseñó un manual de correspondencia con modelos de cartas en una época en la que había tanta gente analfabeta. Me imagino que salvó el día en más de una y de dos ocasiones con ese recurso.

Por aquí se organizó, quizá hace años ya, una lectura en común de "Los Espirituados", una de sus novelas.

Este sello, emitido un 30 de mayo de 2024, fue diseñado por Isa Muguruza al igual que el sello que ya compartimos por aquí de Federica Montseny.

Hoy hacemos doblete con #Feditelia y #postales con la misma especie: el hongo blanco (Boletus edulis). En la postal se ilustra una obra de Alfredo da Conceição y en el sello, de 1984, de Varga Pál.

Esta es una muestra perfecta de que los sellos son, en muchísimas ocasiones, arte en miniatura.

El motivo de que aparezcan ramas de pinos en las dos ilustraciones es que crecen principalmente en zonas de coníferas.

Received today via @postcrossing - this home-made collage card. The #stamps are, from top left to bottom right, from #Yugoslavia, #Switzerland, #WestGermany, #Netherlands, #France, #EastGermany, and two from #Hungary

In other news, I’ve been working on paring down my collection. Not in a “no longer interested” way, but in a “I’m committing to specialization and letting go of stuff I hoarded for little reason” way. I’ve contacted a friend who is a dealer - boxes and boxes of stuff ready to go. The good news is I will now have plenty more room to really begin laying out my real collecting areas in earnest.

My latest @postcrossing correspondent said that amongst other things she's into #owls, #ScienceFiction, and #Cryptids. I think that every single one of these birds is a #SuperbOwl.

#Australian #Supercars legend Allan Moffat passed away today aged 83. Moffat won four Australian Touring Car Championships, four #Bathurst victories, six Sandown wins, & more than three decades of extraordinary #Motorsport achievement.

#Moffat, famously a #Ford man, had a longstanding rivalry & friendship with legendary #Holden (General Motors) driver, Peter #Brock.

Article on Moffat: https://speedcafe.com/supercars-news-allan-moffat-tributes-james-warburton-dick-johnson-adelaide-grand-final/

Here is a piece I wrote on the 2018 XC Falcon Cobra 40 Years PMC: https://coinofnote.com/2018-xc-falcon-cobra-40-years-pmc/. I didn't mention Moffat in the piece, he drove several XC falcons. He won Bathurst 1977 in an XC Falcon (pictured). In 1978, he drove the Cobra variant (like in the PMC), securing Pole position with a record time of 2:21.59 and a speed down Conrod strait of 159 mph, although ultimate forced to retire that race with a broken engine.

At the Federation of #Australia in 1901, one of the inducements for western Australia to join was the promoter of a federally funded #railway to link the continent. In 1907 legislation was passed and on 17th October 1917, the Trans-Australian railway was completed. Commonwealth #Railways was formed to run the line.

Here is a #PNC commemorating the centenary in 2017. Featuring a large coloured medallion and a $1 stamp featuring a poster.
