I received this nice registered cover last year from one of my favorite coin dealers,
Philipe Saive, located in Metz, France.
It is covered with stamps. The cancels read "57 . METZ . SI JACQUES . MOSELLE ." around the edge
and "3 - 10 2007" in the center.
(I placed a small piece of paper in front of my address.)
I especially like stamps showing Marianne's face on the Rooster, which combines two of the symbols of France together.
So what coin did I get? The cover had a 1674-A Louis XIV half ecu inside.
