Spouse coins are Bullion
according to
Public Law 109-145 Sect. 203(4)
Comparisons of the Ford and Nixon spouse coins and the Boys Town coin may be exciting but probably only because the final mintages are announced just a couple weeks apart at years end.
Apples and oranges.
The spouse coins are commemoratives, regardless of how a law might designate them. They are sold by the Mint at a substantial premium to collectors, and each coin commemorates an individual First Lady or presidential term. Just as the Boys Town coin commemorates a specific institution and individual. Apples and apples.
And, let’s not forget that the premium that the Spouse coins need to be sold at also ties in with the specific language of the bullion law they fall under. And, with the dwindling mintages, I am not even entirely sure the spouse coins can turn a profit for the Mint with the costs associated with producing a sub-2,000 mintage coin. When the law was established, I suspect they envisioned 10,000-20,000 mintage coins as we saw in 2007.

I don't understand the certainty here behind the BT unc key status. The mint tends to strike fewer coins in a series than the year before.. which just happened with this coin vs. the Parks gold. Why wouldn't the mint strike a round number of 2500 or 2750 Breast Cancer uncs in 2018 unless they anticipate greater demand? It's a bad looking coin commemorating a depressing subject. If Breast cancer sells at the same rate as BT did going into autumn 2018, you'll have another new key.
Good point about the breast cancer coin. However, assuming some of the profit goes towards breast cancer research I could see these being popular beyond the seemingly tiny base.

Good point. BT unc May be a temporary key. Either Betty Ford or Patricia Nixon unc will be the permanent series key in less than 10 days.

Using your logic (and many might), the 1915-S $50 Pan Pac Round is still the "key" and worth around $300,000 or so in top grade.

The Spouse Series May Be Coming to an End,
but the Demand May Just Be Getting Started
(Part 1)
Posted: JULY 17, 2016
For the first time ever, a major auction house will auction off a complete collection of PCGS "70" grade Mint State and Proof "First Strike" coins from 2007-2015. The set is the complete collection other than the final three coins being offered by the Mint right now from 2016. That auction is the Heritage August, 2016 Anaheim Auction. The coins belong to a long time member of the PCGS Message Boards, and I wish him the very best with the sale.
This coin series has produced the lowest mintage Type coins by the US Mint in the past 100+ years! For the next couple weeks ahead of the sale, I plan to share some interesting facts about the PCGS 70 gra
Tradedesk... I am also looking forward to Part 2. I’ve tied up a great deal of funds with my Spouse inventory beginning (10) years ago. The Spouse “wine” is nearly mature and has been a long time coming. On the other hand, the BT coins are like a delicious IPA beer that requires no aging whatsoever and is ready to drink. Wondercoin.

I would argue for the spouse and gold commemoratives new low mintages are a dual edged sword.
Whatever profit is gained by a new low mintage issue or 'key' is more than offset by the decline in value of prior keys and others in series as a whole..........

The lowest mintage proof $5 gold is the 2016 Mark Twain at 13266. No others under 15000. The Boys Town proof is currently 7031, so it could potentially come in 40% lower than the next lowest coin, just as the BT unc. did.
If I were going to buy a First Spouse from the Mint's remaining inventory, it would be a Betty Ford proof.
Please put a fork in those gold haags—never has a bullion Coin series been so universally hated in the coin collecting community @wondercoin-I think I’d rather have overstock of Lewis and Clark Indian pouches than those haags
@Overdate said:

Why?
Latest Betty Ford proof sales are 2449 to Pat Nixon's 2626. Collectors generally prefer proof gold commems and bullion coins to uncs by a ratio of around 3-1 (examples: 2016 Mark Twain and National Parks, proof vs. burnished gold and silver eagles). Eleanor Roosevelt proof generally fetches a higher price than ER uncirculated, even though the proof has about a 25% higher mintage.

I've always had a fascination with those Pan-Pac $50 Slugs ever since I first looked into a Redbook way back when I was around 10. I saw one in the Smithsonian but other than that they will always be just a Dream Coin for me.
Now if I ever hit the lotto for a couple $487 Million.................. I think my aim will be to buy every MS65 or better I can find. Priority given to those magnificent Octagonals.
Betty Ford unc. and Pat Nixon unc. now 1975 each. Almost certainly neither one will be the key. I think it's now a lock for Eleanor Roosevelt at 1886, unless this week's buying is offset by nearly 100 returns for each coin.
Last week's sales of Ford and Nixon uncirculated were 237 each, while proof sales were 8 for Nixon and 9 for Ford. It appears very likely that most of the unc. buying was speculative. If I'm right about collector preferences, the long-term winner of the still-available Spouses will be the Betty Ford proof, with sales so far of 2458.
Overdate. After getting shut out on a big time winner (Boys Town MS coin), many folks were simply trying to catch “lightening in a bottle” chasing the Ford/Nixon coins last week. The result - nearly $350,000-$400,000 in funds placed on “OK” coins that will not provide the massive price run up that the BT coins did (but might be “OK” in the long run). The question may be how much of this $350k-$400k in product will be returned to the mint in the next week or two. After all, it appears like “dead money” now. If most of it is returned to the mint, these two coins might still be the low mintage leaders. Talk about whomever spent this $350k-$400k controlling their own destiny!
As always, just my two cents. Wondercoin.

Hmmm... how about that. I had placed an order for the Unc BT gold on nearly the last day before it was marked sold out... but listed as backordered. Watched through out the month nearly 3 weeks, and there was no change in status; so I figured no chance. Checked today... and it has now shipped!
Makes me think they possibly DID mint a few more to fill the orders that were placed during 'backorder' status. When the order was placed, there was a message that more would be minted and expected shipment date was the 28th. Certainly appears that may have happened. Guess we will find out after Tuesdays numbers come out; regardless the BT gold unc will still be key since I'm sure there were not many extras minted if it indeed that took place.
Anyone else just get an order filled? If so, a nice late Christmas gift.
hmmm interesting development.
My guess is that they were fulfilling the "backorder" orders thru stock on hand and not newly minted coins. My reasoning was because my backorder was only partcially fulfilled and shipped 2 weeks ago.
Next year we'll probably be looking at the 500 mintage level ( Bitcoin Mania totally taking over ) so they better sell em while anyone wants anything at all. ;-)
I bought a Boys Town gold proof on dec. 27. I received it on dec. 30. It had a couple of tiny blemishes (see able with unaided eye). As I'm sending it back today for an exchange, (mint rep isn't sure I'll get an exchange) I noticed the inside certificate is for a proof Boys Town silver dollar. Methinks they had sent me somebody else's return.
2017 BOYS TOWN GOLD PROOF 1844

An overwhelming majority of the proofs likely went to collectors rather than investors and speculators. Three-fourths of the gold proofs were bought in the three-coin sets, which historically have been of little interest to speculators.
I expect gold proofs to be much scarcer than uncs in the aftermarket. At the moment there are 24 uncs on eBay compared to only 7 proofs!
Overdate... I can ask Justin to post (25) - (50) proofs for sale on eBay later today (and cancel 5 or 10 Unc. offerings) if that might change your opinion

Wondercoin . . . that would skew the ratio in the short run, but in the medium and long term I think the proof will be scarcer and more in demand by collectors in the secondary market. At present prices I think the proof is a better buy at ~$450 than the uncirc at $800 and higher.
And why do people continue to buy the Jackie UNC for $800-$1,000? I understand the PCGS MS70 because of the very low pop, but the MS69's...just ridiculous! The proofs seem to get a bump too???

Jackie Robinson unc. peaked at over $4000, and is still in the process of backing off. After 20 years the coins are widely dispersed and many are off the market, while the Boys Town unc. still has quantities bought by investors that are actively being released into the market.
Jackie Robinson will always be an iconic figure in the Sports World. Regardless of where the mintage stands in the Coin World , demand will always be there from diehard Baseball Fans. Personally I'd rather have a hi grade Rookie Card but you never know, maybe some want both Card and Coin.
