Crikey!
It is good they are stringent, but to be honest, they ought to be more slick about the way they process and assess items coming in, items that have "Customs Declaration" attached to the package ought should not take three months to arrive.

I have often read on ebay coin shops, in the US, how Italy is a country they would refuse to send to due to the items "dissapearing" in the post.
It made me think alike, yet every buyer I have had from Italy has got their coins in a week or two, without any hassle.

Reading this thread however, if it is not stolen but held in Customs, it seems the coin could arrive, at anytime the US Customs agency decides to release it.
I have never mailed a coin to Hawaii, but I know from traveling there they have some stringent agricultural restrictions, even people within the states. So...adding customs to agricultural inspection could explain the delay.

Thank you for the information.

Due to this fracas in delayed delivery to the U.S., I now only ship to there by Registered.
