At furthest apogee the Moon is 406700 km from the Earth (according to Wikipedia - I do not know if this is from the geometric center of the East to the geometric center of the Moon, from the barycenter of the Earth/Moon system, or from the surfaces of these bodies,)

If the 406700 km is the geometric center's distances you add 4 600 km: (the radius of the Earth 6 378 km minus the Moon's radius 1 738 km to get the distance from the far side of the Earth to the near side of the Moon) 402 100 km
