And your source of this imminence?

Appears the Mint has some more inventory.....as of Jan. 2nd 10:36pm EST

All gone now....... over 87 sold tonight, amazing..

The Mint site does say "out of stock", but what source are you using to find the number sold last night?

Even assuming a sell out, with the mintage around 2,300-2,500(?), how will it be far better than any number of other proof spouse coins that shut down later this year? Not to mention mintages on mint state coins possibly even lower than that.

Is this really big news?

Could be big news, considering Eleanor is one of the more popular 20th century first ladies.

Also, as far as actual collectors are concerned, proofs are way more popular than uncs. I expect that a majority of the uncs. are being bought by low-mintage speculators.

Over date. Yes, about 10% more popular than the handful of First Ladies before her

Kyote. She was wonderful, but it did not translate into significantly stronger demand for her coin-did it? Now, the mint is already planning for much stronger demand on the Mrs. Kennedy coin with a higher mintage on that one I believe.

This one will likely be a winner. I estimate that at least 10k Mrs. Kennedy proof will be sold later this year (to pair with 2014 Kenndy proof). Now if 1/3 of them intend to buy this coin, you will see strong market demand later this year and beyond. No need to mention that we have seen consistent buying from several dealers over the past 2 months. Just my 2 cents.

Could you give us a link for that 87 number? I can't find one anywhere.

Mrs. Kennedy coin might renew some interest, especially paired with the Kennedy 3/4 gold, but these just seem pretty dead (no pun intended) as an investment, low mintage or otherwise.

I did not think it was possible to top the FDR Dollar in terms of just being awful... I was wrong.

Engraving is truly a lost art form that is in dire need of a renaissance.

I got one of the Proof Eleanors last night. It shipped out today. Looks like it's the new low mintage proof FS Coin
beating out the proof Caroline Harrison.

How have the C. Harrison buyers fared in the past year or so?

I do like the fine reeded edges on the Gold Spouse coins. That's a positive!

The last of the Eleanor Proofs are more than just Coins. More than just shiney bullion. It's all about being a member of an exclusive
club.

I've fared just fine, thank you.

Can't say the same for the coin.

There are still all the other 2014 spouses to contend with, along with possibly some from 2013. And maybe even some from 2015. We won't know the final winner for a while.

Been there, done that.

And, I personally expect to be there again with E. Roosevelt.

I am one of the "rare birds" that prefers the Mint State coins. They sure spot a lot less than the proofs once slabbed, if anyone else has noticed.

I have more discolored proof

Bad luck of the draw
