The 10 packs are not yet available on the Mint's website but Colonial Acres has started taking orders. Small warning, its $ 1 more expensive at CA's website vs. the Mint's. http://www.colonialacres.com/produc...43197&ref=47Those of you with Mint Reps, try calling yours and asking them to order a 10-pack for you, if you are interested in this type of stuff.

The blister packs are supposed to be available for sale on the mint's website on April 9th (or so I was told at the coin exchange).

Limit at the Mint will probably be 2.
I would suggest going the Colonial Acres route if someone wants just a few additional sets, but it's only worth it if you buy a few other things to offset shipping fees.

when I track my orders through mint.ca, I noticed the red window showing delayed products has a line "Item 120054 de Salaberry 25-cent Circulation 10-pack ; mid April", but product 120054 can'br found anywhere in RCM site. I haven't got Tecumseh 10 pack I ordered several months ago and I missed Isaac Brock 10 pack, don't even know when it was available on mint.ca |

I don't like how they ship them, yes its free but the coins get all dinged up from rubbing one another while going through the shipping process as they just stick them in a plain white envelope. The other thing with the painted coins in that if you look at them through a scope you will see white paint splattered all over the coins, very sloppy and basically ruined the colored coins. "from the mint I mean not from CA.

I always receive the coins in bubble wrap mailers from the Mint. They don't look nice because they are produced at high speeds at the Winnipeg Mint. All new circulation coins are made there and you'll notice with these sets and the uncirculated sets that the coins will have marks on them. The minting process for circulation coins is a rough one.
If I can recall the Brock quarters had a mintage of 50,000 or 60,000 for the circulation sets and sold out quite fast as a result.

These are circulation coins, there not going to be perfect. Maybe search some rolls for the best ones. The CA coins are the same as the ones from the mint. They do ship them in a bubble mailer.
Maybe the coins in the uncirculated sets are different.
I know the coins in the 2010 special edition uncirculated or proof like sets, the one with the 3 red Olympic quarters, the colored quarters are a much higher quality than the regular circulation ones. You can clearly tell the difference pretty easily.

Getting the same thing. Might be a server issue rather than an actual sell out. Keep trying

Don't panic, it's not the end of the world if you don't have this one :) After all, it's only coins!
