    Item now out for delivery. Arrived in SF on the 18th in less than 24 hours, 3 days to get to Berkeley, though. Waiting for the mail carrier this morning.

    The coin arrived yesterday (4 days from London Heathrow). I just got a chance to take a photo. Here it is:

    Some encrustation remnants on the reverse but still a nice 75.5 gram coin.
