    I"m posting shop photos but will try to take my own (hopefully better) this weekend. The coin is very prooflike in hand with a very strong strike.

    Brief coin facts:
    The ship is most likely a Dutch East Indiaman; which is a large, heavy armed merchant ship.
    Reference: KM# 101a / Delmonte #987/ Not listed in Frieberg ???
    Delmonte Rarity scale: R.1-R.2 (Rare-Very Rare) **I would say very rare in this grade.
    Weight : 7 grams
    Dia : 27mm (A little larger than a quarter)
    Mintage: unknown

    I'll have to do that one day when the wife is out of the house, if you know what I mean :D:D
    I'd also be very nervous leaving and returning to the bank with my entire collection in tow!!!
