Here are all the mint subscriptions I have been able to find that are NOT sold out as far as I can tell as of 06/03/2012

None are Master Club exclusive and most have been on the Mint's website for a long time so nothing secret is being revealed.

Does anybody know of any others that are available?

@ poboxw, there are plenty more that I did not list, but they are all sold out.

Here are a few that are sold out:
I'm sure there are more, but I've only had an interest in coins for the past 12-15 months, so the ones from before 2011, I don't know about.

What is interesting about the Silver Chinese Zodiac coin series is that you can still join them, sorta. I do not know if the Mint is still doing it but I was able to subscribe to the series last year even through the first two coins were already sold out. The Mint rep I spoke to added my name to the list for the coins that still to come out.

I was on my own to get the first two missing coins, but at least I was able to get the fancy box for free due to the subscription. I think that was awesome of the Mint to do that for me.

I have the first three lotus coins but asked the mint about joining the subscription in progress to get the box. I even asked about buying the box but they said no way. I've seen it at gatewest but it includes the firs three coins and I'm worried about trying to sell them off

Don't think you'll be able to get much for the first 3 coins. I was lucky enough to purchase 7-8 of the boxes from a local dealer, but have since either sold or given them away. I know somebody selling one for a whopping $250, but you might as well buy the set from gatewest for that kind of money.

In my opinion most of the subscriptions from the mint recently are scams. Few are reasonably priced, and fewer still come with decent cases like the 3 current lunar series ones (silver 1oz, silver lotus, gold lunar)

@Hobbes, it was the Silver Classic Chinese Zodiac.
I was able to be added to the subscription about 6 months ago.

I've seen the box for sale on ebay from time to time.
