Interesting that there was about 2 hours of 'advanced notice' from the rep this morning on the Flanders coins. It's supposed to be advance notice on MC release, yet the coins are already available to the public and being sold by at least one dealer with no actual MC advance notice period. 
Why do I have/need a rep again?
Anyway, I really think the Mint dropped the ball on the 5oz packaging. A regular maroon clamshell is not enough for this coin at $520 It should have at least been the red plastic imitation wood box they used for the maple anniversary. For that reason, I will look to buy it from a dealer at a modest discount rather than directly from the Mint at full price. There is not much advantage to being a MC member these days anyway so might as well save 5% or more.
