  What's inept about commanding a price that is $145 over melt based on today's close on the COMEX?

  That's $145/HALF TROY OUNCE = $290/TROY OUNCE

  Yes the mint has only changed the issue prices on the spouse coins at the year change.
  The 2007's are all the same price and the 2008's the same price.
  
  I guess they dont want to make people mad by changing them once a issue price is set.
  
  I expect the Van Buren will also be priced the same as the other 2008's when it comes out next month reguardless of the price of gold at that time.

  << <i>2007 First Spouse Series One-Half Ounce Gold Uncirculated Coin Dolley Madison (X08) = $509.95
  
  Versus
  
  2008 First Spouse Series One-Half Ounce Gold Proof Coin Jackson’s Liberty (X21) = $619.95
  
  
  $509.95 for a 1/2 ounce of pure Gold in Original Mint Packaging, without an MSN Rebate? ...that's not bad! >>
  
  
  
  This is really goofy!

  I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
  
  
  
  The name is LEE!
