    Been looking for a nice Martinique Franc for a bit. Found two (and purchased) within a short time. The second one turned out much nicer and since I already purchased the first one, I now have two. At least they are different dates. This is the second one, 1897.

    Here's a new pickup.

    Hungary - Copper 10 Poltura 1705
    Rákóczi Ferenc Rebellion Coinage
    KM-264.1 (1704-1707)
    NGC AU55 BN

    This is one of the nicer examples I've seen, as it's well centered and well struck. Planchet composition problems and other planchet irregularities are common for the copper rebellion coinage in general.

    For those unfamiliar with this period in Hungarian history, essentially Rákóczi was a Transylvanian prince who rebelled against Habsburg rule and ended up holding a significant portion of Hungary from 1703-1711 before the rebellion was ended by treaty. While he did not succeed in deposing the Habsburgs, many concessions were granted to the Hungarians as part of the treaty, and he is considered a national hero of Hungary today.

    Unfortunately I posted this too soon. I was really looking forward to this coin, but it is apparently lost by the USPS. They marked it as delivered erroneously and 7 hours after they time stamped it as delivered, but it did not receive a delivery scan with the other package that got delivered that day, and it had no GPS data with a scan. Something is definitely up with the USPS. They have always been pretty good, but not lately. Other packages I have coming are being routed nonsensically or experiencing uncharacteristic delays. Very sad to see this happening.

    You might still get it. I've had things marked as delivered and not be delivered, but show up later. Sometimes they're in the wrong part of the country and have to be rerouted.

    Here are a few nice Canadian pieces that were part of a small collection I just purchased. A semi key date and a better variety.

    I've always liked the story of the El Cazador and the great impact to world and US history that the sinking of the ship had. I thought this was a rather pleasing well-struck example with strong remaining details. This coin would have been in mint state when the ship sank in 1784.
