Has anyone with a rep successfully placed an order for these coins? If so, what is the rep limit?
And why have reps not sent out new coin notifications for this set? Or is it just mine?

Really nice set. "The sets will be also distributed by dealers. Hence, RCM have put the purchase limit in order to assure that everyone will have a chance to get this set." Don't how understand that dealers will also distribute the sets but only one set per Canadian customer.

The dealers, probably will start with issue price, but very fast will increase it and set the limit of 3-5 per customer.

Dealers almost always sell more then one , sometime they set limits to 2 or 5 or 10 etc but unless this set is very low mintage most likely there wont be much in the way of limits, maybe 10 sets or some such, but if the mintage is high they will want to sell as many as possible before the hype dies down.

Thanks Jackalope! Although I was aware the mint was intending on minting these circulation coins upon the 100th anniversary of John McCrae's writing of Flanders Fields, I might have missed this sale at face value......and banks around where I live seem not to receive much in the way of mint coin/rolls. Another CCF member posted this months ago. http://gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p2/2015/...s153-eng.phpAs these are circulation coins, perhaps the reason RCM reps aren't involved?

Althou I think, some dealers like CC&C will start from the issue. Managed to get only 2, due to the limit of the accounts that I can create.

He replied this morning he placed my order today (for 1) and "I will get the ok to place the extra 19 packs shortly." I am not holding my hope up as the last few time, he hadn't able to order more than the limit

I'm really excited about getting them and will finally be able to put more than one aside as I did with the other 5/10 packs.

Is there a way for a MC member to get a rep if they don't already have one? I was hoping to get a few sets but the limit of one per household got in my way.

Try asking, all they can say is no or spend 5000.00 you will get two reps, for all that's worth in todays marketplace.
