Put the order on GW for the Inukshuk + Large Box and 1935-2010 Silver Dollar (Think they have good price for it).
Let's see, if the order for the box will be successful, it also could be sold out, but didn't update on site.

@CC-Ottawa, This is not a subscription at Gatewest, very very good deal!!
I also ordered the Go7 first two coins WITH the case for the price of first two coins only (2x89.95$), so FREE case. They offered it when the first coin was released and when the second coin was released, not after. And there was no subscription there, confirmed!
This time is the same thing for "Oh Canada" case. Price of first coin-only for the coin AND the case. I got two of them and hope it to be suitable to show other coins as I'm not really interested in the series neither. Actually, I plan to sell the coins (maybe I'll keep one of them cause this one is interesting IMO) and keep the case for other coins.

There are no images for this item, also, there is no description for this item on the GW site, but the topic says: "2013 Large Case with First 'O Canada Series' Proof $10 ..." And, under "2013 O Canada Coin series" there are two items: the one that I mentioned above (assuming Coin + Case), and the second named "2013 Inukshuk..." So the first one - "Big case" probably the subscription case. But what is the reason to sell it with only one coin for free....do not know. |

Well, the box comes with the 3rd coin so I find it weird they can sell the first coin with the subscription box

I don't think it's a mint's case. It can be anything: even a BIG one-coin case. Somebody call them? ;-)

Probably won't get the case until after the third coin is released?

For the 2012 F15 RCM subscription , I got the box with the 3-rd coin in the 3-rd month. Initially ordered the "O Canada" subscription from the Mint. And now "Big Box with first coin" from the GW, without clarifying...let's see, what does it mean. |

My understanding is, as the major coin dealer, the boxes are given for free. So GW can easily sell the coins together with such freebie (or they can even charge more). Last time I ordered my Group 7 box together with the first two coins from them. Unfortunately the box was broken when I received it. I called them and they sent me a replacement immediately after seeing the pics of the broken case. They are generous and I believe it is because no cost related as long as stock allows...
Nobody says the boxes are limited, right? the Mint must order the boxes (although batch by batch maybe) more than the mintage in case any replacement.
Anyway, I doubt GW will provide another 'big case'. Not a big deal, man! Why are you so hesitated if you'd like to receive a free case with the first coin?

In theory, there is no boxes limit for the Mint.
But on the GW page clearly mentioned **Low Stock**
The original package of these coins also very nice...
It just sounds suspicious, plus all the Mint's issues with the different boxes.
I ordered one in the morning - need to organize mine 1/2oz NCLTs.

Well, as I expect,now no such "big case" offer from GW coin. Fortunately I ordered this morning...Lets see whether the order can go through. For those who is still waiting...sorry...
Actually I called them this morning. Even the person who answered my call was a bit surprised with the offer. But he confirmed it is the first coin with the big case.

Just took a look to their (GW) website:
It seems was some "bug" / "hole" ...whatever in the catalogue.
Now, they deleted the entry of "Big Case + Coin", without putting this offer as "Out of Stock".
And instead of it - updated the description for the Inukshuk coin :
"Any customer purchasing the first 6 (January through June) individual coins from Gatewest or Albern can request with their order for the 6th coin (Wolf) to receive the special large 13-coin case at that time"
So as for now - Box on the 6-th coin.

@Silveroid
"low stock" simply means they are given limited boxes, right? I do not think the Mint will give them similar amount of boxes with the allocated coins.
