The next unmarried pres (whom I can't seem to remember Hayse?) will have his niece on the Spouse coin (ewwwwww, I don't even wanna know).

How the heck did that happen? I thought that the designs were legislated for the whole series and not piecemeal.
I knew it would happen.

As far as we know at least...being a pre-Twitter world and all!!!

I still think the premiums are too low... sure, the prices of these have skyrocketed in the greysheet in the past few months. But in the long run I think these 4 coins (8 if you count the MS and Proofs) will be the only ones in the series that will be in great demand. Pair that up with the cool designs and the low mintages and it's a long term winner. I think most people who own these subsets really like them and are holding tight. I know I am (unless the premium goes much higher!).
It's only been a couple of years and demand for these is pretty high, just look at all of the BST posts of people wanting to buy them, there are 5-6 active posts trying to buy the same thing!

It really does suck... a Liberty design copying the Indian Head Cent would have been awesome!!! But all it probably took was one of the members of Congress to offer up an amendment to the bill to honor Alice Paul and now it's the law. Lame! No one in power seems to care about the collectors enough to attempt to change the matter.

That was in the orginal Legistation....Polictics at it's whatever you want to say.
Edit to add that it would be great if nobody bought any of them the Alice Paul that is.

That's who I was trying to think of; for some reason, I thought it was his niece, but I guess I got my fax confused..
