Just got mine last Wednesday. When I ordered it from the RCM site the week before, they said they were through 88% of the mintage of 250k. |

Great price, the best I could do is 10 for 220. If anybody wants some and you have over 50 posts contact me.

Correct me if I wrong, but RCM distributes the Reindeer coin, when the coin's card (the red one) not covered by external plastic sleeve (this way I got them). And the dealers / PO, which sell the coins for 22.50 - 25.00 do sell the coins, when the card is sealed. IMO, this makes the coin more presentable and more suitable as a gift. Will buy couple of them for $25.... |

On another post, a member said he also received this coins without the plastic covers. He called and asked the Mint to send him some plastic cover.

If you buy from the Mint, the outer cover is not included. You get the large cardboard folder with the coin encapsulated and in a small sealed pouch.
If you buy from a dealer, you get an additional vinyl sleeve that goes over the large cardboard folder. I don't believe that you can call the Mint and have them send you the vinyl sleeve.

Its not really a vinyl sleeve or plastic. It is cellophane, the same stuff cds are wrapped in.
And if you buy from the Mint Boutique stores, they come wrapped in this cellophane sleeve. I always buy from the Mint store because the post office mangled one of my previous orders since they ship in a bubble envelope and not a box.

Agree with CC-Ottawa I bought each one of these coins (20 for 20) from the RCM, and the card was always open. Thought, may be it is only my order, or it depends on the coins quantity. So those of issues, that wanted to give as a gift - bought separately from the dealer. The seller even asked me: "Why didn't you directly order from the mint?" Just take unprotected red (Reindeer) or blue (Polar Bear) card with clear and dry hands - after this you will see on the light the finger prints.... Edited by Silveroid

thanks for correcting me. The small pouch is vinyl. The outer sleeve is not.
The vinyl pouch is prone to splitting which is likely what the mint can help replace. I suspect they get damaged in shipping or possible crack when frozen.
One of my arrived on a cold day with a split pouch and the encapsulated coin loose in the packaging but I didn't bother getting a replacement.

All my previous $20 for $20 coins from Mint came with the outer sleeve. But the Magical Reindeer does not. Weird. But I don't care because that 3 are for my own collection.
The other 10 from dealer comes with outer sleeve. Nice. These are will be X-mas gift for family and friends.
