how many of us know the former presidents and their spouses from george and martha washington to james and julia tyler. thanks to the two series the mint produced. i knew all of them.

I thought it was pretty neat that the US Mint had the newest spouse coin just released available for purchase at the ANA show here in Los Angeles. Still didn't buy one though, still trying to decide whether I'm going to continue with the set or not.

I know what you are saying, the mintages are tempting but the prices are really high.

I think there are maybe two ways this series could trade, one is by the nature of it as a long series of coins where the lowest mintage appreciates the most and the highest mintage is not worth more than melt value.

There is also the chance that the coins appreciate [by appreciate I mean the premium over the spot price of gold] based on individual appearance, some coins being disliked so are worth less than the ones that are attractive.

My guess is the coins actually do both, and that is why the series is confusing. They lumped in 4 Liberty coins plus a political coin, Alice Paul, and many of the spouses are unknown. It will be interesting to see how they sell in later years but at $1000 gold I don't see these going hot anytime soon.

ways that the spouses will be moving and selling like hotcake.

1. the mint should lower its gold price chart. one or two brackets. the later is much needed.
2. the mint should not limit its mintage. after all the 20,000 maximum is hard to break it.
3. the mint should offer bulk order discount to individual buyers.
4. other way that the spouse will be hot. the gold price must drop below $850.00.
5. the gold price is 90% sure and predicted to jump more than $1,100.00 per ounce. and the today's price is still quoted at $945.00. then collectors will jump to buy them.

I took Elaine's advice and got into the Spouse series a couple of months ago. It took a little eBay work, but I filled the holes. I got Martha Washington and Abigail Adams at just under $500 each (Unc & Proof)...way less than I expected.

I don't suspect the series will end early. Rising gold prices and a sluggish economy may be the "perfect storm" for this series. The most "complete sets" possible is currently 4223. Anna Harrison or the Tyler harem may drop that number even lower.

Granted, these are bullion coins and not true commemoratives...but they're really a bit of a hybrid. Looking back at the Modern Commemorative gold pieces (any denomination...ms67 or pr67), these coins sell pretty much at bullion prices until the mintages dip below 30,000.

From there, prices rise rather significantly as the mintages fall. Over time, I'm guessing the numismatic value of the Spouse coins will make up for the Mint's premium and any loss due to a contracting gold market...personal opinion (I've been wrong before). At least I'm putting my money where my mouth is.
