The coin arrived just over a week after the order was confirmed and was packaged so as to afford the coin adequate protection from damage. The shipping cost was a little high but for a coin worth over a hundred dollars I understand the need to insure it so that should it get lost, damaged or stolen, the seller would have some recourse. The coin was as described in the text and looked as good as the picture and is worth the value I paid. I bought it to resell, but it is worth keeping.
