Mine has a ship date of 9/24. Everything gets back ordered initially so that they can check addresses and confirm 1 per person limits.
Isn't it Wonderful? CAPITALISM! Wasn't this a Fabulous marketing scheme! Sold out again in a little over two hours? Well at least it has eye appeal and almost has to become the most popular of the series (don't think there will be any other "liberty" heads?) Anyway, didn't we have fun today!
All of the presidents who didn't have spouses will have a 'liberty' heads coin. Hopefully they will put a little variety in the mix.
There are supposed to be 3 more "liberty head" coins. 2 in 2008 - Andrew Jackson and Martin van Buren 1 in 2010 - James Buchanan
The design is pre-determined to match the obverse of a circulating coin during that president's term. That will guarantee attractive designs for all of the widowed presidents' spouses. I just noted that in 2009, Tyler comes up and he had two wives during his term. Does that mean there will be 5 first-spouse coins that year?
Where it says order mine reads "order is on hold" anyone got the same?. My order is 262879xx at 12:46
Beginning at 12:00 I was trying the web and the phone at the same time. After over an hour I finally got through on the phone. Man that was brutal! But I'm happy I got my order. :smile
Hamman, This notice went up on the mint website around 2:30pm. No one can confirm exactly when the limit was reached but between 2:00 and 2:30pm seems like the probable window.

If this was posted at 2:17 ET Waiting List Notice: The number of orders we have taken meets the maximum limit for the Thomas Jefferson’s Liberty First Spouse One-Half Ounce Gold Proof Coin.

If a product becomes available due to an order cancellation, we will fulfill orders from the waiting list on a first-in, first-out basis.

This is not a guarantee that you will receive your order. If we are not able to fulfill part of all of your order, you will receive a cancellation or sold-out notification. If you paid by check, you will receive a refund. Expect to get a cancellation notice in the near future based on you order being placed so long after the wait notice. I calculated 197 orders per minute in the 2hr17min time period and you're an 1hr20min beyond that. Most people probably did not notice the wait notice so the number of orders may not have slowed for a while after the 2:17 mark? I'll keep my fingers crossed for you... Hope it works out!
