*The new pricing methodology is based primarily on the London Fix weekly average (average of the London
Fix prices covering the previous Thursday A.M. Fix through the Wednesday A.M. Fix) ** The price of each product consists of the following components: cost of metal, cost to
manufacture (including overhead) and margin.

I'm waiting for gold to go down enough to bring down spouses. I just can't afford it at 600+.

Harrison FS coin looks to be the key to the series to date. Unless gold take a nose dive and the mint drops their prices any more, I don't think that the mintage of Harrison FS coins will go up much more. In fact, I expect all the FS coins this year to have very similar mintages as each other. If you notice, all the mintages for the FS series tend to level out after one month in production as long as there is no major fluctuation in the gold market. Just my personal opinion, but I think that we will see a lull in mintage numbers until we get to the more modern first spouses that we can all relate to. My guess would be that Eleanor Roosevelt, Jackie Kennedy and Nancy Reagan may be the most popular.

Elaine, you hit on a very interesting issue...... do you:

A. Buy all the low mintage FS coins and don't worry about trying to make a complete set and bet on a high return for those coins.
OR
B. Try putting together a complete proof and unc set

If you are going to be buying 2 and 3 of the same FS coins, seems like you would try to put together a complete set as well. I understand that certain coins in the series may carry a premium over other because of their lower mintages, but I would also think 10 years from now when the series is over, whoever has put together a complete set will have a valuable collection....and not just the gold value. Its like the 1995-1996 Olympic comms. Some coins carry a premium over others in the set, but having a complete set is not only hard to find, but financially rewarding. Try finding a complete 16 coin unc set in the box for less than 3k or the complete 32 coin set for less than 5k. Years ago, I bought the 16 coin proof set for $1200. Now you don't see them less than $1600. Maybe occasionally you will find a deal, but not often.
