<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CentDime, post: 248748, member: 7297&quot;]I read this article on the sales of these coins:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The Mint says it accepted 25,000 orders from eager buyers in the June 19 sellout of the first two gold coins in the First Spouse series. The Mint says the average accepted order was for three coins. The speed of the sellout surprised the Mint. A spokesman said demand for the coins exceeded the Mint’s most optimistic forecast. &quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>So according to my math 25,000 orders times a three coin average is only 75,000 coins when the sell-out amount should have been 80,000 coins. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>It also says &quot;The Mint said 8 percent of the orders received were attempts to evade the household limits and would be cancelled.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>So&nbsp; they cancelled roughly 2000 orders before ending up with 25,000. :vanish:</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway I think these numbers are off somewhere, but it sounds like if the average is around three then nearly all of us should get our orders filled eventually. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
