for those who have not seen the coin, the envelope design has been changed. Basically it has been shrunken again...yes, again...if you take all the 20for20 for a cross comparison (except for the first one), you will notice the 'evolvement' from presentable to 'cheap' one... Well, RCM, lets see how fast you can sell out this coin...

Quote: the Tecumseh quarters are still available if you haven't ordered the limit of 2. For the $2.50 FV, you can get the 20 for 20 now with free shipping. Just make sure you select lettermail as your shipping option.
Ok this is kind of silly but, if you order one 20f20 and add a set of Tecumseh quarters, you get free shipping. If you order 2 or 3 20f20s, the free shipping is not available as an option....

I bought my 3. As with the Reindeer and the Queen's Jubilee, this coin appears not to be the nicest. However the theme is attractive to me and I'm to many others.

Sorry CC, but that doesn't work I tried it. It lets you go though to the end but will not finish, comes back and tells you, you have more than one item on this free shipping.

^^^ ordering one 20 for 20 with one Tecumseh quarter set gave me free shipping. I did it twice and was able to order two of the 20 for 20s (because of the limit of 2 for the Tecumseh quarters) with free shipping. The key is to only have one 20 for 20 in each order. Thanks CC-Ottawa for the hint. Now I just have to wait for the next quarter set to come out to get my third 20 for 20.

 It does work (or at least it did Friday). But you can only order one 20f20 per order. Lather, rinse, repeat and you can get 2 20f20s and 2 sets of quarters with free shipping (because there is a limit of 2 on the quarter packs). Then wait for the next 1812 quarters to get the third 20f20 with free shipping.

Yeah, I made my order like this on Friday as well. Maybe they closed this loophole since Friday. If not, it should work.

The loophole still works. So buy one of the 2012 Tecumseh 25 cent 10-pack, and one of the new $20 for $20. Total cost is $22.50... repeat the order again. Mint sends out two packages, and you save on the shipping cost.

I had 2 of the Tec. quarters and 1 20f20 and it didn't work , this was at a friends (new Mint account) so I paid shipping on the 20f20, which gives me 4 and free shipping on another Tec. quarter set

Looks like the Tecumseh quarters are unofficially sold out.

I really doubt the Tecumseh quarters are sold out. I have a feeling the Mint is shutting down the loophole on the free shipping for those taking advantage of the $20 coins. Who knows who is looking at this discussion.

It's about time they're sold out, they've been for sale longer then any circulation coins sold for face value before, from what I can remember.
