Long wait time on grading - coin giveaway to first person to guess the date my coins show shipped

My (2) coins I sent in for variety attribution to PCGS are now on business day 40 and have been showing in the "encapsulation/QA" phase for more than 4 calendar weeks. Since there is no telling when these coins will be returned, I thought I would have a fun contest. I've made the order details public per the link below.

The first person that guesses the correct "shipped date" will receive a circulated franklin half dollar. No ties on guesses as I will go with the first reply that has the date picked correctly.
The odd part of my variety attribution order is that if I look up the cert numbers for these coins, they now have photos as well as the variety listed that I sent them in for...how can that be if they haven't even been QA'd yet? HUMMMM!

Sports cards are backlogged over 9 months or longer at PSA. They are not accepting any
new submissions till July. By comparison, your 40+ day vacation at Newport is a brisk
walk thru. Pop over to the Trading Card Forum and check out some of the threads including
the one with " Tsunami" in the title.
May 4th!
April 8th.
April 15 ] however as we all know the post office is still a mess!
In my state it depends of which direction the mail is coming from.
I live +/- 130 miles north of Richmond Va. Anything leaving here going South just a 100 miles can take 2 weeks! Same coming North up I 95 . Now from the West into Hagerstown hub things move a tad bit better, I can get a letter or pkg. To California in 2 days!
I venture to say.... If I had someone in California to post to <2days> they could send back to Richmond Va. In less time that I can get it down 95.
