Ok well since most of my RCM coins are in boring old Maroon clam shells I guess I will put my 2013 gold superman up, although I am not a big fan of Paper boxes I suppose this one is not too bad. I could put up my Dr Who Box/Tardis but its not RCM...       |

Like the - Year 2000 Specimen Finish Toonie "Knowledge"
Too bad about the 2013 Gold Superman, they had a chance to be innovative,
the 2013 Silver Superman coins have a nicer display. Sorry Northern, likely
the most expensive coin of the lot has the worst paper packaging.

Other notables are the tin cases that held the 12 coin Canadian Sports 50 cent series issued between 1998-2000. Again, don't have a pic readily available to post. Do you mean this one?  I liked these metal ones that came with the Aviation Series 1990-1999. There was also a larger one that held all 10 coins, looked basically the same only a lot longer.  Edited by McNickel

This was another attractive metal case.  I didn't particularly like the look of these, but they made displaying the coin very simple and most of that ugly red plastic was hidden then.  |

Here is the box for the 1908-2008 First Coinage of Canadian Mint Stamp and Coin set. Even the box itself is a piece of art.  |

Great thread, sure has been some wonderful examples over the years. The case for the 90th anniversary is very nice as well. If I can find mine I will include a photo. A nice presentation case makes the coin or set a thoughful & attractive gift. A person doesn't need to run out and purchase a separate case to lend class to the gift. I love those cherrywood display cases used on the coin show. The presentation just makes the coins pop. So of course the wooden display cases are my favorite. Followed by the lotus lunar case, it's very attractive. For the silver dollar I prefer the cases from the eighties, there's a certain elegance. My least liked is the red plastic, cigarette type display of the early 2000's it's just tacky! I do like a quality display!!
Yes I collect coins, however, I'd like to have a stunning display case. Buying a third party case just adds to the cost. When the mint as a volume buyer can source them much cheaper. Then when paying for shipping might as well have an attractive display. I see a coin and it's display case as a complete ensemble, and not seperate components divorced from each other.

My favourite packaging is the Stamp & Coin Sets for three reasons. The coins are silver which I collect. They contain stamps which I used to collect. They have wooden boxes which I make as a hobby. I was going to highlight my favourite, the 1908-2008 First Coinage set but it has already been done. Here are some of my other ones. The whale set contains the worlds largest postage stamp.    |

Just ordered the 2008 50 cent coin and stamp set
100th Anniversary of the Royla Canadian Mint
from CA for $34.95 plus tax as it is .925 silver.
Nice Edwardian portrait on the obverse. Snipe.

Sure you will like it SilverDon.
It's my favourite Stamp & Coin Set.

I received an order of coin supplies from a LCS that was mailed out and one of the
stamps on the box was the $10.00 Whale, I was able to easily liberate it from the box.
I saved the cancelled stamp not knowing it is the World's biggest.
I have the Deer and Fawn Set and am looking for the other sets at a discount.
I am sort of a collector of old style effigies on modern coins so this one with Edward
will be a new addition to the set. Really liking the looks of the box as well.
