It got there at midnight today (July 14) and I just got a new update (a USPS Text) that it is on scheduled to be delivered "ON-TIME on July 14! Collecting since 1972.

Had a coin coming to me from the east coast--it arrived in my greater metro area, then ended up detouring through the Pacific Northwest for four days before finally arriving in my mailbox.
