There are no household order limits for the 2010 First Spouse Series One-Half Ounce Gold Coins.
The Buchanan’s Liberty First Spouse Gold Coins have a maximum mintage of 15,000 across all product options. The ratio of proof coins to uncirculated coins will be determined by customer demand within the total maximum issuance of 15,000.
I hate to disagree with someone more knowledgable, but I predict "no sell out."
IMO, and not to offend any junior members, I predict a sellout at "anticipated demand" nevermind what the literature says be there early for yours if you want one

Thanks folks for your responses to my Julia FS post. I only have one - an MS70FS. Kicking myself for not selling a couple of weeks ago when they were bringing over $3K. I knew that I'd be able to pick one up cheaper later (I personally don't care about FS, I'm talking about an non-FS 70 later) but...pigs get slaughtered... Arrgh.

********************************** Notice I did not say that Buchannon will sell out but there are good reasons that it might. IF the coins are struck to expected demand they will be very good coins.....well we will have better data to work with shortly.
I think they will sellout in the 2nd week. When the mint report comes out after the 1st week of sales, it will show very strong numbers which will cause a rush to get in before they're gone. Or, they could be gone after day one.
Watch the price of gold. The price of the Buchanan Libery gold coins may be headed higher from the US Mint after the first week of sales. This possibility happening may drive up initial Liberty sales. Comments ....
I think I've found a thread that I can't kill. I will purchase both MS and Pr of Buchanan's Liberty. Where's the best place to find this series in OGP? I missed out on Washington, Adams, and others and would like to round out the collection. This is the U.S.Coin Forum and not the PM forum, isn't it?
<< <i>Watch the price of gold. The price of the Buchanan Libery gold coins may be headed higher from the US Mint after the first week of sales. This possibility happening may drive up initial Liberty sales. Comments .... >>
I agree. I edited my post in the Buchanan's Liberty sellout thread.
the pricing grid shows that in both cases where the average is the same as the average before, there is no price change... no matter what the Wed. PM fix does. If gold continues higherthe week after prices could increase.
I'm advising those who are interested to buy early and not to wait.

It was either HRH or DW who very recently opined that the price of gold has an affect on us coins and is a valid on topic.
anyway, this thread has been a kind of a happy medium with the "this isn't the PM forum" people since the price of gold directly affects the price of modern releases. No one else has complained since the few hundred posts where I started reading.
thinking of buying this next "first spouse"? I suggest buying early, if you think the price of gold will continue to rise...

CONGRATS to Eric for the great article mentioning him and his book on P. 6 of the Aug. 31 NN!!
On another subject, discussed in the letters, WHY is the Mint not selling the 5 oz. ATB silvers direct instead of only to the Authorized Distributors?? These are COLLECTOR pieces. What's going on?
Their legislation calls for bullion 5 oz'ers. Sales channels accordingly.
Now the proof versions ... are a different matter.

That makes Sarah #3 for low mintage, If I read the numbers correctly. Hmmmm.
Somehow, I don't think there will be a rush on her considering the option. No 'dis to Ms. Sarah.

At the current gold price ($1249), the Mint will sell one-ounce proofs at $1485.
Common date proofs are currently bringing over $1700 on eBay.
I predict a fast sellout unless order limits are imposed.
It will be interesting to see whether the ebay premium holds once the 2010 proofs are released - I would not be surprised if it does even though it would make no sense. They seem like a flipper no-brainer. Who's ordering???

I will also be interested in ordering a few. However, I have a second thought and would like to see what other thinks.
84,000 1oz would make it the fourth most common 1ozer. This number is quite a lot compared to recent years' sales. Even with an initial spike of say 40,000 sold in the first few days (like 2009 UHR), how long does it takes to consume all the inventory?

Without order limits, I think they would go in a hurry. There is no date-related premium on any of the one-ounce proofs. Even the ultra-common 1986-W proof (mintage 446K) is fetching over $1700 raw in true auctions.
Unless demand drops for other reasons, I don't see how adding 84,000 one-ounce coins to the existing stockpile of over 1,400,000 will make a huge difference in price. If the Mint is willing to sell the 2010-W for 12% less than the market price, there are likely enough deep pocketed collectors and flippers to deplete its inventory in short order.

I may buy a 1 oz and 1/2 just to collect. May be able to make money in the near term flipping but, IMHO, long term cannot see much potential with the mintage numbers if they are correct. I have developed a fear of selling any high priced items on Ebay and that seems to be where the money is being made.
The higher priced stuff is the only thing, IMHO, that is worth the hassle of selling on Ebay. I've been selling higher priced moderns on Ebay for about 3 yerars. For much of that time I was a "PowerSeller". I never had any problems. That said, we've all read the horror stories on this board so it may be just luck that I have not been hosed yet. All in all, I've been able to make some very good $$ doing so.
<< <i>Premiums for the AGE proofs will drop very soon-- if not already with this announcement.
The only reason they were so high is because of the lack of Proof Gold AGE's for precious metal IRA's. >>
I always don't understand this point about the IRA's driving up the price of Proof AGE.
To my understanding, both bullion and proof AGE can be put into an IRA account. So why is proof AGE so desirable for IRA? I thought people want PM in their IRA so they can diversify their profolio, so the bullion AGE should do the job. What am I missing?
My second question would be if proof is really more desirable, why hasn't the proof AGB price also gone up too?

I think you have a typo there in the number of 1Oz AGEs. The Coin World report actually states that 64,000 1-Ounce coins will be produced. This will still make it the fourth highest mintage right below the initial release years of '86-'88. However, I believe these will sellout quickly.
