Odd. I can't find the regular coin box on RCM web site. There were over 1800 yesterday, now gone ? |

Found it under Archived. Item number 145979. Looks like it wasn't going to be for sale to the general public, MC only could buy it.

Might be, more simpler case will be distributed? So to order it, non-MC should call the Mint, clearly say that he aware about case availability, better to provide ItemID and insist on sale. If will will be refused, to ask for "manager" or call again. |

The reason the case is not available to the general public is the 45 day rule that applied to coins is being applied to this case. Quote:
With each release, you'll get an exclusive 45-day period in which to purchase the coins. At least 90% of the mintage for each coin will be reserved for Masters Club members.
So MC members are getting first crack at the case. If any are left at the end of the 45 day period, it will be offered to the general public. |

Today the case is on the RCM web site under New Releases, item 145979, awaiting stock. Description says it holds 34mm and 38mm coins in 2 trays. Does RCM have any case available/planned for 36mm silver dollars? |

It is not awaiting stock. More than 1000 units are available.

Well I see the case is back. Under "New Releases" or "Circulation and Base". Just under 1800 available.

Though I received the M/C collector case, I also ordered one for my niece. It came today, and I must say that
essentially there is no difference in quality and finish - except, instead of the M/C logo, it has the mint's
own logo. Nice production, price - a little steep to hold only 24 coins.

@Dcadon: Thank you for the information. I was worry that the colour will be different between the MC case and the non-MC case. I was considering buying a non-MC case so that together with my free MC case, I can use one case exclusively for 1oz coins, and another one for 1/2 oz coins.

@ shopaholic
Exactly what I have planned....
Only problem my 2nd case came, had to send it back.
The lower coin insert was jammed into the bottom of the coin case and couldn't get it out. The cloth tab used to lift out the insert pulled out of the insert.
Had to ship the case back, The Mint gladly added another one to my on-line account and will be shipped out as soon as they received my defective case.
