the coins arrived today. Nice coin. But there is no presentation slot in the case. It can only be placed flat.

I received mine Thursday, I like the coin and it looks great beside the other one. it is too bad the displays are different.
I'm not sure what to think of the new case. if you could stand it up it might be better but it honestly looks a bit cheap. but it is better then what comes with the 20 for 20's
I guess I will have to come up with a display fo some sort for my 20 for 20's as well as the 100 for 100's

The '100for100' series "tricky"...the RCM made the coins 40mm diametr and not as per usual standard of 38mm. What I see here....maybe some Guardhouse 6-coins wooden case will fit (6*H size airtite capsules)

I picked up my coin from my dealer. I like the new case, but dislike that it isn't the same as the first one released. Why does the mint consistently change the packaging so that a series lacks consistency? Also, I'm not so keen on the white flocking. The coin doesn't pop because of the colour and I imagine it'll attract dust and dirt quite easily

I received my coins and I prefer also the new case. As it isn't serialized they've put all the info in the case to avoid printing the COA so the box is almost the double size the first box but I like they way it looks.

I personally don't like cardboard packaging & would suggest collectors of this series to consider the US 2011 Silver Eagle set case. Nice lacquered blue case will hold 5-40mm coins. The silver & blue look great together.

I just ordered some 2011 25th Anniversary Silver eagle set coin display case with capsules for $19.95 each with free shipping from ebay. Check them out, they are very nice! Sorry, I don't have a direct link but just do the ebay search. These can be used for any 40mm coin: Kookaburra, Koala, Lunar, Eagles & etc. I think these are a great price!

I wish the United States Postal Service & Canada Post could come to some kind of shipping truce, it's like the War of 1812 is ongoing!

Very nice, Coinhooked, thanks for pointing on this box. I just have a concern....the box labeled by US Mint and marked as Silver Eagle Anniversary, so isn't it the "issue" that it will be filled with RCM's coins instead? I think, should I order with capsules or without them? Or just to order in future the wooden box (from German site, the one that proposed boxes for Wildlife bullion).

Silveroid, the display case comes with the 5 capsules also, so if buying a tube or raw in a flip you can just put in the capsule provided.

I am not criticizing anyones collecting interests, but please be careful with these guys. You are buying a one ounce bullion coin for $100, that has no intrinsic face value. Yes, you heard that right, no intrinsic value. You cannot spend it, you cannot pay debts with it, and banks do not have to take it. The finish is very poor on the coins of the series for the price, especially compared to the amazing Wildlife bullion series, or even the Oh Canada series.

I received my Grizzly yesterday: Very nice but expected a little more, 5 finishes but I quickly saw 3 on the reverse & the obverse is the satin finish on the entire side. I personally don't like satin finish (much like US Mint's 5 oz numismatic quarter ( I still like the bullion version better- they look almost proof like & are cheaper).
