It's Almost First Spouse Time Again!

ProofCollection · November 13, 2007 12:49AM

The First Spouse Gold Coins come out in less than a week, and the mint has yet to put any additional information on their website, like pricing & limits.

So let's start the speculation... What are the limits and prices going to be this time?

I'm guessing they'll keep the limit of 1.

I'm guessing gold pricing to be $470 Unc/$500 Proof.

I think a much more interesting question is what the DEMAND will be? I'm guessing this one will sink like a stone and maybe won't even sell out. I know I won't be buying it...

First spouse? Got rid of that one 30 years ago....

Oh... you mean coins.... just the name turned me off on those.. would not, will not buy one... blechhhh..... Cheers, RickO

Sellout in less than a day ?

pontiacinf · November 13, 2007 1:43AM

I say no thanks to the coin, and the 50 million stupid threads that are going to be started on it

UtahCoin · November 13, 2007 1:44AM

Judging by the lack of response here, I think these will go wanting for homes......

dieabolical · November 13, 2007 1:47AM

I think the Jefferson was many people's Last Spouse...

Which, of course, will make it the new key to the series!

ONETHREE · November 13, 2007 1:48AM

I am frequently wrong, but I think this will be a case of fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. That being said, they will probably sell out quickly, with a glut on ebay shortly thereafter.

Coinhog · November 13, 2007 1:49AM

We had similar responses and posts prior to the release of the first MW. She sold out in less than a day. The boards here have very little influence on whether these First Spouse Coins sell out. The Home Shopping Network and Coin Vault will ensure that they will.

It's been 29 years since mine became first ex.

BECOKA · November 13, 2007 2:02AM

I'll be buying. On the aftermarket for a discount.

Yep, I am soooo done with that series. I am going to take a serious look at the reverse proof plat. set.

UtahCoin · November 13, 2007 2:08AM

All this being said, I will go ahead and buy one of each. It just might be a sleeper.

pf70collector · November 13, 2007 2:17AM

Gold is falling just in time for the mint repricing. Maybe not $500 for the proof.

BECOKA · November 13, 2007 2:38AM

<< Gold is falling just in time for the mint repricing. Maybe not $500 for the proof. >>

Yeah more like $499.

pf70collector · November 13, 2007 5:55AM

Could possibly sell them at a later date than Nov. 19. These should be up on their website by now.

SilverEagles92 · November 13, 2007 6:01AM

I think this one will stink too (as far as resale, that is). Too many people got screwed over by the last one that they won't be buying this one.

ModernCrapNut · November 13, 2007 6:04AM

They are on the product schedule.

ozzyfan269 · November 13, 2007 6:18AM

Count me out!

Coinlearner · November 13, 2007 6:20AM

Just checked site and still a go for Mon. Should get a price up by Fri. Then we have all weekend to clutter up the board with Spouse threads

. Think the mint is pleased with the last order limit and will likely stay with it.{Less complaint calls, from first two, for being shut out}. Guess the price, maybe 449-unc....469-proof. Likely buy 1 ea. from mint. If not will get them soon after release. Design is nice both sides.

Raufus · November 13, 2007 7:05AM

I'll pass on this one. Enough dogs in the kennel from the other releases!

frostbyte · November 13, 2007 7:36AM

I like that you can collect them along side the presidential dollar, but they are very spendy. I pick them up on ebay after they have been slabbed and selling for less. Proofs all the way though for me. I'll get one of each if I'm able. I have 2 of each so far, but will end up selling one each eventually...once gold's at $1000. ^_^

Leonidas · November 13, 2007 7:47AM

I wait and buy the 69's for around $425.00 just for the .9999 1/2 Oz Gold

Bear · November 13, 2007 11:25AM

It is difficult to see a bright future

for this particular coin. I could be wrong,

but I won't be buying one.

Joflax · November 13, 2007 11:58AM

Once bitten twice shy , I will wait for the next Liberty .
This one is dead in the water...so it will pobably end up being the key or it will still be on sale in 2009

ProofCollection · November 13, 2007 12:20PM

The way gold is selling, it will sell out no matter what. It will just be a matter of how long it will take. I bet the proof is still sold out first day.

53BKid · November 14, 2007 6:43AM

Possibly the proof, but if they're keeping the 20,000 mintage the MS will be around for a long, long time before it fully sells out, IMO.

Classof67 · November 14, 2007 7:02AM

I'll be buying at melt when the glut (Love that word!) hits ebay!

OnlyBuffalos · November 14, 2007 7:05AM

The mint will offer 20,000 proof and 20,000 uncirculated Madison spouse coins via a Dutch auction on eBay ending in seven days after the auction opens.

They will not accept returns and will require PayPal payment. They will announce that they are laying off 50 people as a result.

Two hours before the auction start, it will be delayed do to a technical glitch.

BECOKA · November 14, 2007 7:38AM

They said a 1 hour sellout last time but didn't the MS stay for sale with a waiting list for several weeks if not a month after the fact? This time around it may be a similar situation except it will take a couple of days for the sellout with the waiting list hanging around for months.

The Dolly Unc. could be the dog of the bunch if they don't lower the mintage of the Unc.

I think the Proofs are a lock. One day sell out.

I'll buy now, ask questions later.

53BKid · November 15, 2007 2:15AM

If the MS doesn't sell out by the time they're delivered, my bet is that even graded, they may be found on eBay beneath the mint's asking price!!!

holeinone1972 · November 15, 2007 2:17AM

Prices posted.

The proof coin will be offered at $529.95, and the uncirculated coin will be offered at $509.95.

lordmarcovan · November 15, 2007 2:17AM

<< It's Almost First Spouse Time Again! >>

No thanks. My second one is working out much better.

The first one had her... uhh... good points (nudge nudge wink wink), but the second one is much easier to live with.

53BKid · November 15, 2007 3:36AM

At these prices, it's a good bet that this won't sell out by year end, IMO.
