I refuse to support a series in which a former first lady who participated in so many scandals during my lifetime will be a component.

rgCoinGuy · November 25, 2008 2:55AM

Ill be picking up a PCGS 69, not sure of proof or Uncirc yet, when they hit the secondary market (and the initial frenzy settles down), hopefully using the live.com cash back program.

Ummm, ok. I see your point

rgCoinGuy · November 25, 2008 3:02AM

@ in the title to make it easy to find?

zeebob · November 25, 2008 3:05AM

Are you guys talking about the Van Buren presidential dollar? Or another coolish Van Buren collectable from the US Mint?

It's the Gold first spouse coin, but there was no first spouse, so its a gold Liberty Coin.

Order number: 30511xxx at about 12:01. No problems with the Mint site. I ordered a proof.

Next year I will gt 1-3 HR coins, a proof AGE, Buffalo proof and then we shall see......................

Mercury · November 25, 2008 4:23AM

I ordered 2 UNCs around 12:30 PM. On hold, back ordered... and a bunch of the bronze medals too.

pcgs69 · November 25, 2008 8:08AM

Now, I'll admit that I have a big nose, but is it me, or do all of the drug addicts run in fear when this Miss Liberty walks by?

zeebob · November 25, 2008 8:14AM

RG, Thanks. Nice looking coin. I'll bet it's even nicer in person. I guess I better head over to the Mint's site and see if they'll take my money.

I think you should give Nancy Reagan a break; she thought her astrologer could do a better job than Ronnie.

GRANDAM · November 25, 2008 8:26AM

Is everyone on a backorder ship date of 12-10-08 or is it just me?

I just ordered mine today.

Thanks, GrandAm

Swampboy · November 25, 2008 9:37AM

Can't wait to see the proof but will have to wait to pick one up.

This is similar to the past few releases. They give you a date a few weeks out, and in the last few cases the coins arrive w/o notice about a week before that date. We'll see if this time around is similar.

Placed my order this afternoon, around 3:30 or so EST... 2 of each

Order #: 305148**
Order date: 11/25/08
Order Process Date: 11/25/08

1. 2008 FIRST SPOUSE GLD PRF (MVB) (X23) Qty 2 @ $549.95 - Backordered 12/10/08.
2. 2008 FIRST SPOUSE GLD UNC (MVB) (X24) Qty 2 @ $524.95 - Backordered 12/10/08.

Hyperion · November 25, 2008 10:29AM

Im cheap these days... so Im buying the Medals!

they really are ALOTTA bang for your BUCK!

ProofCollection · November 26, 2008 12:22AM

Forgot to buy mine yesterday, but I figure it doesn't matter.

1 of each to keep the set going.

30519XXX 9:40am Wed. Expected to ship 12/11.

jsf · November 26, 2008 12:27AM

I'm getting out of these, selling my first two libs eventually. A different series (in classic silver) will benefit from the additional funds. I'm just having too much fun with my current round of upgrades!

Mesquite · November 26, 2008 12:32AM

I bought a couple of the bronze medals. One of which I will be using as a pocket piece for a while. I figure monthly shots of the obverse over the period of a year will make for an interesting thread. Any bets that I can keep from losing it over the next year?

BTW, is it just me or does anyone else think that the depiction of MVB as a young man looks a lot like Josh Groban?

This guy for those who said Josh who?

Just checked this evening and my order now says expected to ship 12/17/08???? Whatever, given the Mint's way of doing business, I fully expect to have these arrive suddenly at my office by the end of the week or early next week and then receive an email the next day letting me know that my order was shipped!!!!

Coinhog · December 3, 2008 12:10AM

They just shipped my Van Buren First Day Coin cover. Does that count?
