Jacqueline Kennedy gold First Spouse - whose buying?

Raufus · February 28, 2015 7:30AM

The Jacqueline Kennedy gold Proof and Unc coins will be released later this year.

Most, ever the modern folks, don't like this series.

That said, Jackie Kennedy is obviously an extremely popular figure.

Just curious, who's planning on buying a Jackie when they're released.

I'm in for one, possible one of each finish.

Not me! I'M DONE WITH THE MINT.

MsMorrisine · February 28, 2015 8:05AM

3 proofs 1 Unc

My usual spouse order is 2p-1u

Raufus · February 28, 2015 8:24AM

<< 3 proofs 1 Unc

Wow, I didn't know that you had collected the entire series. Very cool!!

7Jaguars · February 28, 2015 12:52PM

Wait till they get done with the engraving and see what the quality of this coin might be. Highly suspect IMO. The FDR was worse than bad, although a male figure.

ricko · March 1, 2015 2:45AM

Not even if it were the last coin ever.....the hag series is horrible ....Cheers, RickO

If this were being offered to the general public it might be a top seller ... but ... just about the only people who will even be aware it is available are coin collectors ... and I doubt that they are serious Jackie Kennedy fans ... just flippers.

silverpop · March 1, 2015 2:59AM

pass

Great point. The Mint would likely do well to advertise this one in non-numismatic media. Of course, they won't.

coinkat · March 1, 2015 3:42AM

Sorry, that would be a no.

epcjimi1 · March 1, 2015 4:03AM

There are way too many of the Mint's endless releases to expect price support.

Fewer, more quality, better.

More, lesser quality, bad.

dpoole · March 1, 2015 4:09AM

I'm in for the PR/MS. I'm collecting the series (evidently Msmorrisine are the only people in the country doing that).

reddwing · May 23, 2015 7:38AM

I see the release date is June 15th. So, i may be in for one unc and one proof. Sadly, these moderns are some of the ugliest coins I have ever seen.

291fifth · May 23, 2015 8:07AM

I have zero interest in modern mint products. I'll leave them to the flippers.

silverpop · May 23, 2015 8:48AM

pass

Oh Man! I never thought I read this!

Raufus · May 23, 2015 10:03AM

On the fence. Likely in for one proof and one UNC in separate orders. Will hold till the last day for returns and will decide then whether or not to keep based on sales. I just find it hard to imagine that w/30k mintage it will ever go for much over spot. Will h interesting to see how sales go.

derryb · May 23, 2015 10:06AM

I bet Dimeman is in for a dozen.

At the National Theatre in September 1962 with her husband.

Photograph by Abbie Rowe, National Park Service, in the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, Boston.

Now that 1962 pantsuit says Hillary ain't got nothin' on Jackie O

Hope the Mint incorporates the First Lady Pantsuit craze.

DIMEMAN · May 23, 2015 12:50PM

>>>pass <<<

+1

I hate moderns.......and I hate the hag series even more!!

Kudbegud · May 23, 2015 1:53PM

I'll try for one of each, PF & MS

nwcoast · May 23, 2015 2:16PM

Classic!!! The best laugh of the day!

I'm out!

jmski52 · May 23, 2015 11:41PM

I doubt that. He "hates" them. After all, why collect Modern Bullion when you can pay 400X Face just to add .07234 oz. of silver to your registry set.

Sorry, but $40 wouldn't buy many of my Registry Dimes. Maybe a few Roosies......which are moderns!!

BillJones · May 24, 2015 1:27AM

I could be tempted, but if the artwork is up to the usual bureaucratic stuff, they might well make Jackie Kennedy look like Eleanor Roosevelt or Millard Fillmore. If so, I'll definitely pass. Here is a campaign button from 1960.

FullStrike · May 24, 2015 5:27AM

I'm in for a BU example. If they really look good I'll also get a Proof.

reddwing · May 24, 2015 6:05AM

I might as well ask. Which spouse coin to date is absolutely the ugliest? I vote for Eleanor (and i hate doing it as I personally admired her).

Ah, my mistake. I actually meant 4000X melt, just to add .07234 oz. of silver to your registry set. $1.24 in metal.

FullStrike · May 24, 2015 8:17AM

So many are not good looking that it's probably easier to ask which are somewhat attractive. It's pretty much a waste of time to
even think of this series in terms of beauty. The term " first hags" didn't appear out of pure meaness.

The Julia Tyler looked nice.

kiyote · May 25, 2015 1:04AM

Mamie looks really, really bad.

I'm down to only one spouse--- a FS MS70 Coolidge. I wouldn't mind getting more of the series as they pop up on the cheap raw or MS69.

reddwing · June 2, 2015 4:55AM

The mint web site has a new release date of June 25th.

FullStrike · June 3, 2015 6:13AM

Personally I'm looking for an initial sellout in 5 minutes. Probably they will only have 5,000 struck and packaged for first day sales.
The more limited they look, the better sales will be.

MsMorrisine · June 3, 2015 7:34AM

even if they go to back order fast, these will be like the gold kennedy half dollars.

they will sell well on the mint web site, but they will be duds on the secondary markets.

I hope flippers fall all over themselves making and selling pcgs first strikes in 69 and 70. I want some bargains (below cost).

Walkerfan · June 3, 2015 7:44AM

No way!

Although I admire and respect Jackie completely; I am not into that series or moderns, in general.

FullStrike · June 5, 2015 11:34AM

Will Jacqueline get any mainstream press coverage? If so, there might well be huge demand.

If not, then demand might not require the Mint to exercise the 30k product limit.

Anyone got any predictions?

OperationButter · June 5, 2015 11:59AM

<< Anyone got any predictions? >>

My guesses:

Mintage limit reached by August.
First run will backorder within 6 hours. Rest of the orders filled by end of September.

If 40% of the Kennedy gold buyers want the finished "set", Jackie mintage limit is reached.

gsa1fan · June 5, 2015 4:41PM

I will buy a proof and put it next to my JFK gold coin.

TopographicOceans · June 5, 2015 4:54PM

I do need to buy a first spouse for my type set, but the only one I liked is the Andrew Jackson’s Liberty First Spouse.

But so far I've convinced myself it doesn't qualify as a coin since it wasn't intended to circulate, but I have other commemoratives so I guess I need to be consistent.

Bullsitter · June 5, 2015 7:08PM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

FullStrike · June 5, 2015 9:11PM

If nothing else, at least I can say Hillary is one happy momma. Would she make a good President? I can't see why not.

BillJones · June 5, 2015 9:44PM

<< Good president? "I can't see why not." >>

Except for the fact that

- Her foundation takes money from foreign governments when she was Secretary of State.
- Her foundation takes money from corporations and private individuals when she has great influence over public policy that effects their interests.
- She dropped the ball on the Bengausy attack and did not send security aid to our ambassador when he desperately needed.
- She lied about the Bengsusy attack with a phony story about a video and stuck to it even though she knew the truth.
- She has presided over one of the worst period for our foreign policy as Secretary of State.

Have you not kept up with the news?

Moldnut · June 5, 2015 9:58PM

Lets not beat around the bush, in her first presidency, things were quite good in this country. There's no denying that.

I just picked up a ms69 proof AJ spouse for spot. Patience on these .9999 gold nicer stacking material.

AUandAG · June 6, 2015 1:22AM

I liked Jackie, hated her husband, but will pass on this coin.

LOVE the Lib Subset!

19Lyds · June 6, 2015 5:54AM

I have absolutely no interest in the First Spouse Coins.

As it is, I can stand to even look at the Kennedy Presidential Dollar that comes in the proof set. WTH was the Mint thinking?

Kennedy is the only one that looks like he came straight out of a Garfield Cartoon! Complete with bulgy bug eyes.
