I can't wait to break open that slab.
Congratulations !
Is the weight including the slab? ;D
The coin seems very heavy, the theorical weight should be c. 3.4g.

Yes, it is a bit heavy. I will weigh it when I get it out, there is always a chance they got the weight wrong.
The weight was 2.6gm--4.6gm must have been a typo...and it looks much better out of the slab
