I always load up on Sinas Snippers, bankets and speculoos. They're hard to find anywhere else.


If you have a Trader Joe's near you, they carry a brand of speculoos imported from Belgium, at $2.29 which fits my cookie budgety nicely. The Biscoff brand is available in manys stores near me, though pricey. I think my wife picks them up when they go on sale.

Yep, I like them too (result of living in Belgium a couple of years).

In the US immigrant towns it's easiest to find imported food shops, but the Dutch and Scandinavians came so long ago there aren't many left. In Lynden WA there are enough Dutch descendants to support it. I've never seen any place else selling 5 lb chubs of almond paste, and whole aisles of imported condiments and cookies. Across the border in BC it's the same thing with Ukrainian foods. Huge numbers immigrated to the lower Fraser valley over 100 years. 10 miles north of the US Dutch stores I buy Ukrainian perogies (varenikis) and sausage.

My interest in Dutch coins stems partly from association with the US immigrants, combined with the Spanish colonial connection. Lately it has been in patagons.

Well, first I think it would have been nice if the seller named the coin correctly

Since you already have a later type of the silver ducat, I assume this means you'd like to add an example of the early type. Because they are large and hammered, they suffer from the normal issues: uneven strikes and irregular planchets (shape and other defects). So to find one with good eye appeal that is also slabbed is not so easy.

A few examples of recent sales I could find:

That is correct.
I did notice the wrong name for the coin on ebay, but didn't bother informing the seller.
Comparing the auction prices to that of the listed Ducat, it seems the coin is overpriced by 30%.
