This sucks - I went to The Royal Mint (RM) to buy this coin, deposited money into my wallet over there and I still cannot buy it. So now I have my money sitting there and cannot get it back.

The RM is so VERY hard to navigate!!

I think the problem may be shipping to the US. The Royal Mint site is a pig to navigate!
Via "Shop" from the main screen and then selecting "£2 Coins" from the drop down, I get a screen full of options. The |National Gallery coin is a little way down at £13, and I can add it to basket. There it says "Shipping in 3 to 5 days to the UK". Whilst not explicitly saying so, I read this as meaning they do not ship overseas.
I think you may need to get a UK resident to buy it for you and forward it on? I would offer to help, but I am not in a position to do this at the moment.

what a nightmare - Just got finished talking with the RM - (I sure miss that British accent) and I found out that when I opened an account - I set it up in USD not UK Sterling So had ot open a new account for purchasing this coin. BUT now I need to call my bank to ask them to allow them for me to allow this purchase.

yep, it worked out finally - after 3 calls to the RM that is, but I have my order in.
I bought the silver proof with the gold plate limited edition one in the fancy box (only 700 of these are being produces [supposedly])
