I have a multi-form order in the works; cross-over, reconsideration and a variety attribution. These will require separate forms. Hopefully I should be able to snag one of these "minty" boxes.

Got my first one today. With a bonus gold shield sticker!
Looks like you were one of the lucky few. I really wanted one of these so I went and dug out a half dozen raw coins from the pile of stuff and sent them in under the regular service. Mailed them out middle of April to get in while supplies remained and my order was received April 25. I wrote on the submission form and even included a copy of the quarterly special flyer so they wouldn't overlook the request. I just got the order back and guess what, I got a black box. No mint box for me. I am told that the mint box is no longer available. This is just very disappointing. I guess it was a good thing I bought a couple boxes from eBay. On a positive note, my coin submission and grades came out better than expected.

Well that really sucks. My submission of 5 coins has been there over a month and hasn’t moved out of grading. The mint box would have been a plus. Not meant to be.

The special ends on June 30th but I am going to save a few hundred dollars by submitting in person at Summer FUN on July 8th. I think I would rather save a few hundred bucks on shipping and insurance than receive a mint green box. The boxes are nice, don't get me wrong, they just aren't worth me spending hundreds on shipping and insurance before June 30th. Maybe they will have a few left after June 30th and I will get lucky? We will see.

Good luck with that. They did not have one left to give me for my April order.

Point taken but no luck is required as I do not have a real interest. Best of luck to those that do.

I received one today from a 6 coin Economy submission sent in the middle of April.
Well isn't that interesting. I got mine back a couple days ago and it takes an extra couple days for Alaska delivery. Mine was also a 6 coin submission sent in the middle of April. No green for me. Congrats on snagging one of the last boxes.
Hmm... The mint boxes still flow forth. My black box shipped out on May 24. Makes a guy wonder about the accuracy of the CS statement. I'm beginning to think I smell something dropping from ole Black Diamond...

Has anyone actually received one of the 35th anniversary mint green boxes? I have a 5 coin submission that all QA and grades were completed last week, but it has not shipped yet.
Received my 8 coin submission (voucher) in one of the mint green boxes last week.
$268 with no coins included. I would say they are very optimistic. Seems like these were more in line with $50 from what I had seen selling.
At least it comes with free shipping!
The seller is Jack Tu (888eightrarechinacoins.com). He's sold a number of these at $70 each already and this may be his last one so he might be able to keep it priced high.

Yeah, he must have to pay a bill....maybe his Ebay fees!😂🤣
Just an unusual number.....why $268 and not $250 or $275?
He had a good thing going at $70 each but now he kinda crazy!🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

Does this mean a 40 coin submission gets 1 mint box?
Yes.

You mean "Not mint to be"

There are still quite a few on eBay. I picked up some there.
After they dry up, they will be much harder to get, like the orange boxes.

I received two of the mint green boxes and one black box in May returning coins I submitted in April.
Still waiting to receive one more box with 14 coins.
The mint green color has positive eye appeal and should contain similar coins.
Just received a mint green box with my 8 coin voucher submission!

Speaking of PCGS orange boxes, I think perhaps this one is a wee bit overpriced?

At first, I thought this was a WHITE 35th ANNIVERSARY box!
I have to say PCGS hit this one out of the park as this thread is up to 1.3K views!
