However, while it's nice that this product exists, and I know the costs have been figured out a little more since the OP, I can't help, but think I could just go to my local metal works shop, and get something of similar quality for much less, and wouldn't need to ship it. Obviously, you could argue that your local metal works could be using lesser metal, but you could potentially test it yourself to assure that. So, this product is decent for those that can't find any other means, but it's still rather expensive when you factor in almost everyone has access to this sort of thing locally at a reduced cost.
Shipping physical, clearly Bitcoin-related products (and other goods, too) is always an area of concern.
Price-wise though, I just checked and their markup is actually not too high, considering the extra work for the finishing and engraving. Though if you don't need that, you can get away somewhat cheaper by getting the steel cut locally.
