  • I laughed when a friend showed me a comic book hero, busty female in a latex superhero outfit, and referred to her as hot. Yet I used to stare at my Dolly commem...

    I'm on the fence.

    Any market that relies on eBay for its pricing is doomed! To the casual observer it seems that eBay auctions are simply supply and demand, but actually any market derived solely from eBay auctions is driven by buyers looking to buy as cheap as possible and a few sellers only too happy to comply.

    Unless sellers dry up or some dealer (Maben perhaps) starts getting aggressive with higher buys rather than just following the eBay prices, look for them to flounder. On the good side it looks like the Jefferson Spouse coins are widely distributed, so if there is a play on them later, it will be have a better chance to rise.

    I'm only collecting the liberty sub-series.

    My guess is that flippers will find there's less opportunity going forward.




    HAPPY COLLECTING!!!

    I'm actually thrilled that (if) interest in these wanes.

    I like them and will continue to order them and don't want to have to have the strongest index finger in the world to get through the mints web order site just to have a chance.

    I think these may be long long term winners, but my purchases are driven only by my enjoyment of the coins themselves.

    I'll pick her up when she falls to bullion value. The Jeff spouse lackluster will curtail the flippin' interest and the series will suffer before it catches fire at some distant date -- IMHO... I agree she's charming!

  • her lips look funny. At first I thought she had cleft pallet. The coins is ugly! The reverse is okay.
  • I expect the Mint will leave the mintage at 20,000 per option and household order limits at one for the Dolley Madison spouse coins. Even so I believe the Proof will be an immediate sellout just like the first three and will be reason for the Mint to evaluate the mintage for next year's First Spouse Proof coins as they have stated they may do.

    I also expect the Mint to raise the price in line with the jump in gold prices...

    Good point OPA, Current pricing puts the Proof at less than $50 above spot, a bargain for the lowest mintage gold commemorative issues ever.
