IKE HH LIMIT 2

LINK FOR US MINT IKE PAGE

lasvegasteddy · July 14, 2015 11:32AM

but we can still order 50 of the high relief gold

oih82w8 · July 14, 2015 11:35AM

it is about time that lower limits than 5 per household are introduced...not that I purchase the modern stuff.

keyman64 · July 14, 2015 11:40AM

Interesting.

jessewvu · July 14, 2015 12:06PM

I'm sure enough people will complain that you could order TWO coins, not just one, that soon we will have to enter a raffle to get 1 coin/set from the mint.

Too many folks in the country with entitlement-itis.

7over8 · July 14, 2015 12:09PM

This still wont stop the games.....big dealers will have proxy buyers, or, in the case as mentioned on another thread, will buy on your account for their gain.

IMO, stick with the 5 sets per HH and just let it sell out in 15 minutes. If you want one, you will be online and ready to go at the opening.

pitboss · July 14, 2015 12:11PM

Well I know I can get 4 of them anyway so that is not too bad seeing as how I will only have 5 of the Truman's. anyway

Bochiman · July 14, 2015 12:18PM

Not to worry. Our regular forum greedy pigs, you know the ones...the ones who ONLY come around to get information for flipping and to share how they were able to purchase hundreds ("family and friends") and are using the BST, as well as ebay, to sell to those locked out, will be on here for them.

They won't be in other threads sharing any knowledge/pictures/or camaraderie. They will just get in, and out, of the flipping/information threads on these and order way more than they should.
I respect the dealers that buy from those that ordered them. I don't respect those that go out of their way to get multitudes for flipping....particularly when they use these forums for information and dumping of the product but do NOTHING to become part of the community.

MilesWaits · July 14, 2015 1:13PM

This means I will be required to develop two and a half households for my "entitled" allotment of Mint lottery product.

It may become akin to last second bidding on eBay with the necessity for speed and cleverness.

Overdate · July 14, 2015 1:46PM

Assuming the Mint website is functioning as before, the Ike will sell out in about 30 minutes instead of 15. Following the usual round of complaints, the household limit for the remaining coins in the series will be reduced to 1.

Why not instead just increase the mintages for the remaining reverse proofs in the series? If the Mint truly aspires to operate like a business instead of a bureaucracy, they should try to match increased demand with increased supply instead of resorting to rationing.

pennyannie · July 14, 2015 2:06PM

I have 40 rent properties... but I have no intrest

cucamongacoin · July 14, 2015 5:29PM

Was there any indication of what the set would contain?

A little bitter there buddy?

ricko · July 14, 2015 11:40PM

I am pleased to say that I will not be in the competition... so my potential two sets will (I hope) go to a deserving person.

Cheers, RickO

jmski52 · July 15, 2015 1:30AM

In the early 1960's you had to order by mail and any orders received before the opening date were not filled. You then had to wait 1 or 2 months before even getting an acknowledgement, and another 2 or 3 months before getting your proof sets. The limit back then was 5 sets, and they usually made 2 or 3 million of them.

It didn't stop human nature because people still wanted to game the system thinking they might score "big".

If the Mint considered this a real problem, the Mint could fix it in a minute. It's not rocket science. I think they would rather have the turmoil over scarcity to pump their own stuff.

Bitter? No. Sick of users? Yes.

Say, how's the recent vacuuming and banking going for you?

morgansforever · July 15, 2015 10:22AM

All for it, maybe, just maybe, I can get one at Mint issue price.

MilesWaits · July 15, 2015 12:49PM

Damn, you gotta admit, this makes it more exciting and more worthwhile to get one or two.

The Mint knows, albeit intentional or not, how to generate "inexpensive" interest more than any other entity in coins.

You can tailgate or pre function the party with the UHR, for a bit more skin.

HATTRICK · July 17, 2015 3:41AM

HSN preparing it's ordering crew.

cupronik · July 17, 2015 4:25AM

Being ignorant of the whole ordering process I still want to say, "I hope this doesn't screw up the coin market ala last summer's JFK fiasco."

bestday · July 17, 2015 5:21AM

Too bad just before the Chicago ANA Show ...Wonder why the Mint isn't selling any at the show .... that starts a couple of days later

sanitarium1inmate · July 17, 2015 5:44AM

<< Too bad just before the Chicago ANA Show ...Wonder why the Mint isn't selling any at the show .... that starts a couple of days later >>

Probably cause they still expect a quick sell out.

BigA · July 17, 2015 6:10AM

MilesWaits · July 17, 2015 6:18AM

"Quick sellout" is too long a word to say for how long this issue will last.

BigA · July 17, 2015 6:22AM

<< "Quick sellout" is too long a word to say for how long this issue will last. >>

i think the 2 per will make it last a bit longer....it may even go to day two.....maybe......or not

Then don't forget how the mint likes to say they are unavailable but then the next morning they will be up for sale again for a limited 15 minute window, then the following day, etc etc etc.

HATTRICK · July 18, 2015 2:04AM

Time to hit the homeless shelters and do some recruiting.

BigA · July 18, 2015 10:29PM

Do you think it meaningful that the Mint removed the "found only in this set" from the Ike set RP description????

tincup · July 18, 2015 10:48PM

<< Do you think it meaningful that the Mint removed the "found only in this set" from the Ike set RP description???? >>

I have not yet looked at the Mint web site. But if that is true... that may change everything. Sounds like they may be considering minting more, now that they realize how popular this first one was. The set may still be worth picking up, but certainly won't have the same appeal as the Truman. Also... that would mean the Truman is the KEY.....

claychaser · July 19, 2015 12:06AM

As with Truman, I think the medal is a much better design than the dollar coin!

HATTRICK · July 22, 2015 12:05PM

Let the madness begin

2 sealed boxes of 2 or 4 sets of the Eisenhower presold on ebay for $750 already. = $187.50 per set

and now another set $1 coin & currency coming out 8/24

BackroadJunkie · July 22, 2015 8:23PM

<< and now another set $1 coin & currency coming out 8/24 >>

Yep. They snuck that one in the schedule like they did last year, but this one wasn't even announced in the TBD catagory.

Hopefully, they include a meaningful FRN this time around...

This looks like 2006 -2007 again .. buy!!!

bestday · July 23, 2015 1:02AM

The IKE coin is .999 silver .. this will a hot one

BigA · July 23, 2015 1:49AM

The Ike coin is a RP bronze dollar...the Ike Medal is struck on a ASE blank like the Truman and, yes, it will be a hot one (again)

bestday · July 27, 2015 9:48AM

<< The Ike coin is a RP bronze dollar...the Ike Medal is struck on a ASE blank like the Truman and, yes, it will be a hot one (again) >>

Hotter than Truman set....got offer today to sell Ike set for over $50 from what Truman price was offered

agentjim007 · July 27, 2015 10:45AM

With limit 2 bids will have to be higher than Truman to accumulate stock.

FullStrike · July 27, 2015 11:05AM

I'm feeling very discouraged today. I offered a coworker the surefire way to profit a bit on these
coins - no interest.

I offered to pay her upfront to be my strawbuyer - still no interest.

You can lead a donkey to water but you can not make her drink.

I'll try for my 2. Forget all the BS associated with getting more.

agentjim007 · July 27, 2015 11:17AM

Unless you hold it's head underwater and suck on her $&@hole.

TwoSides2aCoin · July 27, 2015 11:30AM

My heart could not handle the drama of one. Two is out of the question.

7over8 · July 27, 2015 11:34AM

One of my co-workers asked a colleague of his to buy for him and offered a decent fee..... on an issue a few years back.....

The colleague asked many questions, then declined, thinking they would be getting in serious trouble by buying for my buddy.

I dont know how some people even exist in this world.....

Reminds me of when I started selling Beanie Babies. My wife told me that I did not have a license to sell them.

I told her she did not have a license to spend any of the money I was making from them.

JCLIGHTBRIGADE · July 28, 2015 2:19AM

You want me to buy some IKE coin sets? Ya, and you gonna get paid.

Only five more days until the Ike's go on sale. HSN is preparing their friends and family.

Coins101 · August 6, 2015 4:54AM

There are already being sold on eBay to along with the Kennedy C&C sets!

From what I understand, the Kennedy Coin & Chrinicles Set was bumped from 20,000 to 40,000 sets which pretty much kills any flipping (or freaking?

) opportunities.

As for all the disparaging remarks on flippers? It's a business folks and people make money off of others desire to have hobbies. TPG's, coin Dealers, Coin Shops, Big Businesses, Magazines, even some coin forums. Everybody has their hand out and the smart man will recognize that it is what it is and there ain't any point in whining about it since the only thing that gets accomplished is that your blood pressure rises. Just get over it.

Interesting enough ,,Ike coins being sold 1 year from the Chicago ANA dealer bus people sit in , for Kennedy gold coins .. wonder why Mint would not sell Ikes at the ANA show next week

VanHalen · August 6, 2015 9:26AM

How will JFK secondary market prices be affected now that 50,000 will be available??

TopographicOceans · August 6, 2015 2:59PM

814 people responded to my Craigslist ad to buy two sets for me.

They've all cashed my checks so I'll be getting 1628 sets.
