My original order date of Feb. 24 put me into the "Available for shipping May 24" catagory. But then UPS pulls into the drive this morning and TA DA! Big shiny gold coin! Book of course is still backordered, but I can't drool over a book. Very nice looking chunk of gold. May be some die polish lines between the 3rd and 5th ray on the reverse so not likely to get a 70 grade. Oh well, its not like I was going to sell it in 10 years and retire. Its part of the permanent collection now and I get ot enjoy it. Perhaps a few others will be getting theirs shortly, too. Rick L.
