Thanks for sharing.

Well, I'm glad to see that collectors won't be shut out on this one.

the mint is well prepared for these. the price is very much higher. the mark up is almost 50% from melt value.

the other things is that if you place order before jan.12, 2009. the old prices is maintained. such as you ordered is on jan. 2,2009 and is backordered. no new adjusted prices is involved.

I ordered two First Spouse coins a couple of days ago. I hope the Mint does not lower the price of these coins in the next few days.

Interesting, the charts are filled with prices for all those fractional coins that they aren't making anymore.

If that's the case, to order one of these, one would have to have either taken leave of their senses, or have more money than they know what to do with.
i think you just called me insane?

Yeah, I did, but I wasn't too serious about it.

If the mintage isn't limited, though, I think there will be little post-sale demand. Given a 50% premium over bullion, I just can't see these holding their value.

For a whole year? Nah, they'ed just take orders and tell you they are on backorder. You just may haveto wait until November, December, maybe next January to get your coin.

whatever you do dont buy the coin. joe runs a club where he is trying to discourage people from buying moders so his coins will be worth more
