For all you 20 for 20 RCM collectors I heard that lighthouse will be selling in the fall a wooden case, that will hold up to 20 coin's. |

But have you heard that it designated for these coins (round slots with exact size)? Cause Lighthouse already has, for example, case for 20 coins, with the square slots, that basically will fit any up to 40mm coin in capsule. |

That's fine for the $20 for $20 coins. How about the $25 for $25, $50 for $50, $100 for $100, $200 for $200 coins?
You would need 5 albums.
Like Silveroid says, Lighthouse already have cases that do the job.

One of the reasons that I quit the $20for$20, and keeping only the $200 Towering Forests. I still curious, why no one with money and skills came and started to produce the boxes with the round slots that exactly will fit multiple amount of RCM coins: 34mm, 36mm, 38mm, 40mm Lets see, what exatly " RCM branded case" (for $129) that will be offered in Feb 2016 for MC members |

At the Lighthouse Leuchtturm Booth at the RCNA in Halifax they had an example of the 20 for 20 box to be available this fall. It looked like a plastic box, round slots for sure, dark brown or black, black interior, flock lined, kinda lightweight but held about 20 coins. Also a SML box to be available with round slots.

If I remember correctly the box may hold up to 35 $20 for $20 coins and was very nicely designed. I attended the show and was quite impressed with their work and attention to detail. Looking forward to their official release and hoping that they will be available locally.
The SML box on display came with a tray for 20 with an optional addition for another $20. Great for all kinds of 38mm coins.
Both boxes were priced at a suggested retail of $50.
These should sell well to collectors looking to house all their coins in one place especially the 1/4 ounce.
Problem with the $50 for $50 and $100 for $100 et al is that they already come in their own cases and are two few to bother with.
Considering that both the above series will continue (without special packaging) in various forms for some time, it may be worth investing in something like this as an alternative to storing them in the regular cardboard mint boxes.

Being 1/2oz silver 34mm (assume, I do not mistake) they fit perfectly in O Canada. But $100for$100 are 40mm, current solutions: Sacred Teaching cardboard box, some of US Mint boxes. |

I visited Lighthouse Publications to see if the cases are available yet or on pre-order. Closest I could find to the one I saw in Halifax with a similar in look and design as the SML & 20 for 20 boxes is the one example below. https://www.lighthousecanada.ca/col...-coin-boxes/Given their small size at 27mm and the convenience of having them all in one nice presentation, I think the investment will be worth it. Assuming the series continues for at least the next 4 years, the box will be full in no time. If not then there will be lots of room for duplicates.   Edited by Proof Nut

Thanks a lot, Proof Nut, for info!
Need to keep an eye, for more varieties (SML, Koala...)
