Backorderd? Sound like they are selling coins they have not even made yet. They are probably busy minting the much needed Lincoln cent.

jsf

Yes, the Mint could already be producing next year's errors, today!

Watch what you're doin' there Mint-worker. Don't put last year's die in there again...

Looks like these things are FLYING off the shelves

LanLord

I hope fewer than 500 of these things are sold! That would be cool.

I'm guessing it'll be somewhat over 500 sold. I can't be the only one that's in for 4, can I???? Acutally, I hope that I am

Walmann

I would be surprised if orders exceed 4 or 5000, at least until gold hits over a $1000/oz.

Owning a Loiusa Adams Coins has gotta be as special as owning a Hummer H3. Price of Gas and Gold is enough to make someone stop and think in both cases.

So what's up with these.

They keep pushing back the ship date. It say shipping 6/10, but the box is still there ?!?!?!

Oh yes, Loiusa Adams, my childhood hero. How I remember reading her biography, seeing her picture throughout my history books and on the classroom walls, admiring the many statues of her about town. Our school was named for her, as was our cat. To finally see her honored on a pure gold coin is the apex of my study of this remarkable woman, I shall buy every Loiusa Adams coin upon which I can lay hand, and will make higher and higher standing offers to own each and every one minted, so that I may sit and sift them through my fingers, into bags about my feet, all day in the company of these wonderful things.

Hm...am I detecting some sarcasm???

And re: the pushed-back shipping date, sounds to me like the Mint is just waiting to get enough orders to make minting them worthwhile. We must be close, though. I hear sales are up to 15 or 16 with the Uncs and approaching 30 on the proofs!

I would like nothing more than to have a mintage of 30 proofs.

BTW, for the 30 people who care. My boxes are gone.

Well, do you like it? How's it rate in hand with the other spouses?
