max of 10 for masters club members


The maximum unfortunately is 3 for MC members; same as for the canoe edition.

For the first coin in the series, MC members were allowed 10.

It's too bad there is a limit because these are great coins to give as gifts that help draw new people into the hobby (i.e. kids)

And, there will be 2 more 20 for 20 coming out this year. Designs yet confirmed

3 releases this year? 2 would be fine with me. Had a feeling the RCM would pump out more releases due to the relatively quick sell-outs of the first 2.

Any free shipping promo codes floating around for non-Master's Club members?

Plus they have compressed the coin in the horizontal making the coin out of proportion.

Copy image > paste in Irfanview > crop to just the coin > resize to equal dimensions.

I'm pretty sure the max is 10 for MC members because I just put an order in for 10 and reserved 10 each for the 2 coins following the polar bear.

No clue as to the designs yet. Either the sales rep won't say or don't know. But following the trend (maple leaf => canoe => polar bear), it'll likely be something iconic-ly Canadian. Igloos? peameal bacon? :) Any guesses?

@poboxw: On-line at least, the limit is 3.

I'm guessing that you called in to order and reserved the next issues so maybe by phone we can get 10? Or maybe you have dealer status?

Emailed our service rep and was offered the preorder of 10 for the next 2.
I don't have dealer status. The annual order volume has to be in the 100,000s I think, to become a dealers. Since most of our friends and extended family buy RCM products through us though our orders tend to be considerably large.

Same offer was proposed to me also; 10 pre-ordered for the next 2 releases.

On a side note, I learned that our reps do not earn any commissions when orders are placed on-line, yet they provide customer services when we run into issues.

So from now on I will place orders with my rep only.

Yikes, and here I was feeling bad when contacting the rep for smaller orders, thinking I should save him the trouble and just place a web order.

This is very interesting. I too assumed that ordering on-line as a MC member was they way to go. Apparently, I need to get a little squeaky to get the grease.

There seem to be gremlins in the RCM's systems.

PS. I've never had a personal rep despite being MC for many years.
