    It came with my Canadian Bullwinkle Moose coin.I don't know if you remember the thread but I ordered one and the guy included a few extras like the stand and a maple leaf lapel pin..go figure.

    Ruben...$100+4.95 S&H.My dealer didn't get any from the Mint so he just bought 5 from a guy who purchased the limit of 10 sets.He gave him $125 per set but will sell them for more.Fleabay is averaging $140-$200 and more but it could be initial release hysteria OR...they could be on a long march upward.*cackle*

    Freddy,
    Don't toss out the piece of cloth tissue that covers the leatherette box inside.You want to keep it all original.I also CAREFULLY peeled open the flaps on the shipping box so that it can be resealed later in case I decide to submit it...like that'll happen!
    Did you notice that the inner box has one side disconnected for easier removal?At first I thought it had ripped..LOL
    And finally,YES the coins were floating around loose in the box but fortunately,they were all in the airtight holders so no problem.Something seriously is wrong at the Mint.The front page of Coin World (or Numismatic News?) has a story,with pics,about how a LOT of the 3 piece gold sets are arriving with coins open,out of the plastic holders,and sometimes damaged.

    Mine were loose inside the box too. I used extreme care when opening the package. Man that reverse proof is cool!

    I just love these coins and need to get one now.
    Why do they call that design a reverse?

    It's called a reverse because usually a proof has a mirrored field, and frosted devices, but on these it is the other way around, and they look great.
    I got mine yesterday too, and they were floating in the case also, though all still in the capsules. It seems to be the norm for the mint QC lately,not the exception.
