Also the Truman and Eisenhower First Spouse Medal Sets are not available. Hopefully they will be back. I haven't bought mine yet to complete my set. They made small quantities of the 2014s,
Looks like new marketing style is out by the Mint. Sellout restock sellout restock....................
Wow whats in store for the Jackie Kennedy Coin ? Sellout of 2,000 BU and 5,000 Proof in 10 minutes? Then the backorder/ unavailable game?
Currently there are 14 Mamie Proofs left ( until restock ). Are they creating an aura of scarcity? I think it's going to work for them. Just wait until the HSN prices go into the thousands.
What an absurd way to market your coins. Run them for two or three weeks, stop and offer them again later in the year? And, in the meantime, newbies possibly pay double or triple to buy a coin hoping the Mint forgets to produce more (and would anyone be too surprised if that even happened?) And, when the Mint does remember, those buyers have a coin worth Mint issue price they possibly paid double for?
And, this suggests "new demand" in the spouse series? Am I missing something?
As always, just my 2 cents.

Well, I think it is foolish for people to pile into these issues like they are in an attempt to buy a sell out when these are 2015 coins and can be minted until Dec 31, 2015
Now all 2015 spouse gold coins are out of stock, look forward to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis coins. out of stock in the first 45 minutes? >>
This is amazing. Usually wait for MCM to get them in stock and I grab a pair for my set. Learned my lesson in 2012 when they started putting out 70s for under $100 over mint price. Guess I just got egg on my face with the sellout of Maime.
<< <i>US Mint update on the status of all out of stock 2015 spouse gold coins

Buying to chase the key is getting very expensive and speculative. If that's the only one that one is after it will be cheaper and less hassle to just buy the key once its known.

This would seem to be the best strategy to grab the key. Buying Coins that are about to go out of stock can be too much like hanging out in Vegas.
Well the 2 - 2014 Proof issues that are about to disappear are continuing their slow decent. Once these are gone, they are gone forever. Unlike the 2015 issues, the minting process for the 2014's is over.
Even the semi-keys will have likely have very low, under 2k for uncs and 2,500 for proofs, mintages. I don't think you can go wrong buying a current spouse coin raw directly from the mint, assuming you don't get a problem coin. And for such a small-produced coin, even within a type quality runs the gambit. Reddish streaky toning anyone?
"I'll split the atom! I am the fifth dimension! I am the eighth wonder of the world!" -Gef the talking mongoose.
Trumans and Eisenhower both go dark with 1500/1k made (1500 less than 2014 run). Ebay prices spike to $2k or as high as $2500 on proofs. Mint says they will be back in August yesterday and now you can add 99 to cart today. Thats strange to me, thats all.

And like the march of dimes set, that estimate is overly conservative and the should be back in sooner than that
And even sooner as the flippers realize the mint really can mint them for all of 2015 and they return their hasty purchases.

the only strange part is the spike on ebay.
and the first strike window is still open for eisenhower
the speculative buys were foolish, as mentioned.
