<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 26134761, member: 25270"]This one finally arrived, but it had quite a journey. I bought it from a seller in France in mid-January. It took about 8 days to get to the U.S. and then it got weird. It cleared customs sometime in February. Tracking had it in Indianapolis in late February, and then on March 12 it was in Michigan. Then it just didn't move for three weeks and I was sure it was lost. Suddenly late last week I got an update that it was at the local distribution center, and two days later it arrived. I'm glad because when I thought it was lost I couldn't decide if I should open a case on eBay even though I know it's not the seller's fault or just accept the loss, which was not a trifling amount. That dilemma will not have to be faced. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, the coin. 1849 3 baiocchi from the Republic of Rome, which was a revolutionary government formed in 1848 when much of Europe revolted.
