First Spouse Presentation Boxes

I have the box waiting for me at home but I am told it looks fairly nice. I am only collecting the FS coins that have Liberty on the obverse. Cannot afford to go for all of them so this box will hold the four that are only liberty.

Are you referring to the after market 4 coin display case the Mint has for sale?
if so...can you provide some decent photos
Can't figure out why such a price difference for the MS versus PR case?
Thanks

Sure can. I am at work now but when I get home I will take some pics and post them. I opted for the cheap case so the more expensive one might be better. But since it is only going to display I did not want to pay too much for the packaging, if you know what I mean.

I beleive the PR is solid wood the MS is "composite" what ever that means.

My only problem with all of the mint boxes is they start to take up space pretty quick. I will probably get rid of my mint boxes.

Yea that would be neat. They may also come out with a case for all the First Spouse coins. Now that would be an awesome presentation case

Yes, I remember that as well. They were throwing in a presentation case with each subscription and it was supposed to ship later on in the Fall. I guess they may offer them for sale later on.

They should never have cancelled the series subscriptions. They had a guaranteed sellout of both the proof and MS versions at 20,000 mintage per offering. Now, who knows? With the snails pace that Dolly is sellin, especiially this early in the series, we can be pretty sure that other spouse will not sell out. If they had kept the subscriptions going, they could have raised mintage limits to satisfy all those who did not sign up for the subscriptions.
They missed the golden goose on this one.

DON'T DO IT! Sure, remove the coins for the safe or SDB, but hang onto those boxes. You'll be very glad you did--or your heirs will.

Great minds think alike, I am doing the same thing.
