March 2022 RCM Release

This month has been a complete mess from messaging and timing...
Typically, as MC Diamond, I get the email notification on Monday night 1 week before the general release... I then get a snail-mail catalogue on the Wednesday, still ahead of general release.

This month I got a pre-pre announcement of a Low Certificate version of the $200 annual gold on Feb 21 (2 weeks early), The MC Advance for the month was This Monday (Feb 28), I got a 90% sell out alert on the silver Pysanka on Tuesday (Mar 1) and then finally the snail-mail catalogue today Friday Mar 4.

Further... there was nothing in any email about the big coins... that was in the printed catalogue... As @MoneyPenney noted earlier (and I was surprised when I read the note), it is only available from the RCM as a subscription but then again...not really as it is now awaiting stock. I would have thought that it would have at least been mentioned in the category of continued subscription in the emails unless it flipped to Awaiting status between catalogue printing and email release.


I had hoped that after the hot mess that was 2020 & to a lesser extent 2021 that the RCM was getting communications and deliveries back under control... maybe not yet.

I woke up briefly at 2:30 AM this morning: the silver Pysanka was already sold out at TSC, but the gold Pysanka was still available. When I checked TSC again at 7 AM, both silver and gold Pysanka coins were gone.
