I meant that I am not 100% confident that the US Mint will still be selling gold in 2015. If good odds were offered, I would bet against it. That said, I'm in, and I know a couple of other guys in my office are too.
I did a 1 - 4 - 5 subscription under 1 order number.
Now I'm thinking maybe put each subscription under an order number.
Also, with these subscriptions, I'm thinking I have even LESS to lose. Before I had a 30 day return policy, now I can subscribe, maybe get a sell out, PLUS I still have 30 days. This is going to be interesting.
Also, lets say half are taken for the subscriptions, when they actually go on sale, there is only 20,000 left. Those may go real fast, thus creating even more hype.
OR we could all be losing our A$$es... guess we'll find out soon enough.

No, the First Spouse does not have to be dead first.
Curiously, as I reread the law just now, it seems that in the few cases where a President remarried while in the White House, EACH spouse gets her own coin.

By my count, the box holds 21 coins. Isn't the series going to have more coins than that?
Edited to add: (The website says the box will hold up to 46 coins. Maybe there's another compartment underneath.)

I was looking forward to a nice Dansco album. While I like the box it just seems easier to store in an album. When you get too many different size shaped boxes they get hard to stack.
Newbie here: I was thinking of adding a subscription to these. Do they charge you for them when you add them to the subscription or when they ship them?

I am brand new to this forum, and just as new to coin collecting. Actually, I started out two years ago with precious metals in my portfolio, and it grew into coin collecting.
I have read through all of the replies to this post, and I have the following observation. I don't think that anyone can loose on the spouses- here is why! The worst possible thing that can happen (baring a serious pull back in gold bullion prices) is that 5, 10, 15 years or even more from today, the 2 ounces of gold in either set will be worth spot+. Rather, given the current and coming economical and geopolitical climate I would say one will have a handsome return on bullion price alone. Now, what if these Ladies (or just some of them) become a great success in the collector world, well then lot of people will be kicking themselves in the pants for not getting in on the "IPO" price.
In short, I for one see no downside to owning these coins, I was looking to add some gold to my portfolio. APMEX would charge me ~$2,850 for 4 ounces of gold bullions. Instead I subscribed to the proof and unc sets, 1 of each, and I will pay Uncle Sam ~3,200 on delivery. The difference is $350 – a small price to pay for the good possibility that these coins or some of them will real collectors’ value far beyond that of gold price.
Lastly, I hope that the prevailing lukewarm attitude for these coins on this forum, is an indicator for the wider collectors’ attitude. This way the Mint may on sell 20,000 sets rather than the limit of 40,000 thus adding that much more collector’s value in the years to come.
<< <i>The worst possible thing that can happen (baring a serious pull back in gold bullion prices) is that 5, 10, 15 years or even more from today, the 2 ounces of gold in either set will be worth spot+. >>
Which would make these a great deal, if there was no such thing as "opportunity cost."
I heard they were making a French version of Medal of Honor. I wonder how many hotkeys it'll have for "surrender."

HonestMoney...So far I am in for 1 each. I would like to throw caution to the wind but I have to prepare for other coins of interest. So I have to pick and choose today, so I will not be shut out tomorrow on other series coming or I collect..
One advantage also is at least these coins have a changing design every year unlike the ASE and AGE's. Though I do collect all the ASE's. The change in design will only help no matter how unflattering and unpopular some may be. Welcome to the forum.
<< <i>Which would make these a great deal, if there was no such thing as "opportunity cost." >>
opportunity cost is unavoidable, if you don't invest here, then you would invest someplace else, but "someplace else" may not be as good as something other then "someplace else". You cannot get around it. The best thing anyone can do is have a good hedge. I think I have presented this with either value increase: bullion or collector
Family, kids, coins, sports (playing not watching), jet skiing, wakeboarding, Big Air....no one ever got hurt in the air....its the sudden stop that hurts. I hate Hurricane Sandy. I hate FEMA and i hate the blasted insurance companies.
Has anyone called/contacted the Mint to see if the series box will be available for the Unc's? The price between the Proofs and the Unc's isn't that great to stiff one group of collectors over the other. If nothing else, they should offer the box to Unc subscribers at addtional cost. If the proofs fit, the Unc's would too.
Collecting coins, medals and currency featuring "The Sower"
Will the uncirc and proof have different mintmarks or will they both be the same except for the finish?

"Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value---zero."----Voltaire
"Everything you say should be true, but not everything true should be said."----Voltaire
This is true. However, having your capital tied up in relatively illiquid assets compounds your opportunity cost immeasurably. What if you buy all you can of these, with the expectation that they increase dramatically in a few years, and miss the 10th Anniversary Platinum later this year? If that 10th Anniversary Platinum doubles in a month, your opportunity cost is staggering.
That said, I do wish you the best of luck.
I heard they were making a French version of Medal of Honor. I wonder how many hotkeys it'll have for "surrender."
I collect the platinums but the only way this annivesary set will take off is if its a low mintage. If they make 30,000 of these I don't see this set taking off.
Also so what happens if they are all sold out during the subscriptions. Does that basically shut out everyone for the future sets on the spouses that did not sign up for the subscriptions or will the mint increase the mintage of these to allow more subscribers. Of course you could cancel your future subscriptions but if its a sell out who would? It could get interesting. Is the set mintage of 40,000 set in stone and part of the congressional bill for this?

I agree the 10th Anniversary Platinum set is the one I'm after and after seeing the schedule for the Plat's these should be low mintage. The mints not one to make a ton of coins in a run or two. For all of those buying UNC not having the fancy packaging maybe a blessing since many like the proofs the best already and should encourage more to get the free collectors box. I'm sure you can pick one up off Ebay since even if they sell out the scripts (which I doubt) most will drop out way before the end of the series.

Agreed for the most part on the Anniv. Plats BUT...if they put a one-time/first-time kind of coin in there (reverse proof, etc.) then the set will be a must for most collectors. In any event, they'll probably price the set to the heavens so they'll never sell a large amount.....I hope!!

I still can not see how these hag issues are anything but US minted versions of the old Franklin Mint NCLTs (hey they are back in business now too!). They are not tied to any currency issues, and are not even bullion though struck on half oz. blanks.

There are at least two trays. The top tray holds 21 coins, which would be the first five years worth including the two wives of John Tyler. The next, presumably bottom tray should hold 25 coins, the next six years including the two wives of Woodrow Wilson.
It is also possible that there are three trays of 21, 21 and whatever to allow room to continue the series past the current First Spouses.
