Does anyone have or know where to get sale #'s for the spouse? I would imagine they are extremely low. If gold continues to decline will they ever lower the price? If not maybe this will be a real valuable coin?
those coins will not be worth anything during our lifetimes. buy them only because you like them or you will just be losing money on the interest year over year
this link should work for ya. Buy them directly from the mint, cut out the middleman, and save some $$$ if this is the coin you want. This link is for the UNC: http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wc...ctId=14602&langId=-1&parent_category_rn=20738 this one for the proof: http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wc...ctId=14601&langId=-1&parent_category_rn=20738
Sales numbers can typically be found weekly in each issue of Numismatic News. According to NN, the first three first spouse coins (Washington, Adams and Jefferson) which quickly sold out, met the the max 20,000 mintage for each coin, both unc and proof. The forth FS coin (Madison) of 2007 wasn't as lucky with only 11,964 and 17,974 minted for UNC and proof, respectively. It was somewhere during this time that the mint changed how mintages were determined. Instead of minting 20,000 for each unc and proof, the mint has now let the public determine how many of each coin should be minted with a total mintage of 40,000 for each spouse represented. For example previously, you could only have 20,000 max for each coin (both unc and proof), but now if 25,000 sells of the proof, you can only have 15,000 max for the unc. The Monroe FS has 4,134 and 7,128 for both UNC and Proof, respectively. Louisa Adams has 2,521 and 4,411 for both UNC and Proof, respectively. In addition to the new Jackson FS coin, the Madison, Monroe, and Adams first spouse coins (both proof and unc) are still available from the mint. These numbers were out of the Sept 2 issue of NN and reflect the numbers obtained as of 8/17. Hope this helps.
honestly??? Then buy one from the mint and submit it yourself. The chances of it going MS-68 or worse are small. Most Mint bullion coins are MS-67 and up. If you ship it in the mint package, you can get the early releases slab, and the savings vs. the certain MS-69 coin are big!
I doubt the Mint will lower the price; that would infuriate prior buyers and the Mint would have to rebate the difference. I tell you who will lower the price... E-Bay. Wait three months or so, and you can buy these at bullion+, just like Jeffersons. Which I think are beautiful, as are the Jacksons. Does anyone know what's on the "Van Buren's Liberty" ? Seated Liberty, yes ?
Yes the seated Liberty. I bought the first Liberty coin last year in proof and uncirculated and have just purchased the Jackson Liberty. My plans are to buy Van Buren Liberty also. I see them as beautiful renditions of previous Liberty used as coinage. As far as I know these are the first and maybe the last of these beautiful mint designed and coined rendition of Liberty.
Deal me in. Absolutely. :thumb: Where else can I get a Draped Bust PR69 DCAM for 10% over bullion ? One of my big draws to this whole coin collecting thing is the beauty of it. I love the old classic designs, but good specimens are spendy.
The seated Liberty Coin is for Van Buren, the Jackson coin is a classic head design as seen on the bust halves and cents of the time.
