    Just go an email from the mint saying they have cancelled all subscriptions to the gold 4 coin spouse sets in order to be fair to every one.

    To: United States Mint Subscription Customer

    Subject: 2007 United States Mint First Spouse Four-Coin Set
    Subscription Enrollments
    Date: May 10, 2007
    United States Mint Customer:
    We are contacting you regarding your recent subscription enrollment for either the 2007 First Spouse Gold Proof Four-Coin Set or the First Spouse Gold Uncirculated Four-Coin Set. In an effort to provide the most equal and fair access to the individual 2007 First Spouse Gold Coins to all United States Mint customers, we will not be offering four-coin sets in 2007.
    Following a review of the program, and to ensure consistency with the Presidential $1 Coin Act, the United States Mint has decided it will release the First Spouse Gold Coins sequentially in a timeframe that follows, as closely as practicable, the release of the circulating Presidential $1 Coins. As a result, the United States Mint has decided not to make available four-coin sets for the First Spouse Gold Coin Program in 2007, thus also eliminating this subscription program.
    This is a notification of cancellation of your subscription. You have not been charged for this product, so no further action is required.
    You will be able to purchase First Spouse Gold Coins individually when they become available for sale using normal product ordering channels.The Martha Washington and Abigail Adams Gold Proof and Uncirculated Coins in single-product options will be available beginning June 19, 2007, at 12:00 noon (ET). "Jefferson's Liberty" and the Dolley Madison Gold Proof and Uncirculated Coins are tentatively scheduled for release on August 16 and November 15, respectively.
    The mintage limit will remain at 40,000 coins per design across all product options. Order limits for the individual proof and uncirculated options have been set at five (5) per household for each product.
    Please monitor the United States Mint's website, www.usmint.gov, for more information as the United States Mint is evaluating the possibility of offering a 2008 First Spouse Gold Coin Subscription Program that would be available as a single-coin option and would include the complimentary 46-coin custom box.
    We apologize for any inconvenience this matter may have caused. We look forward to serving your numismatic needs in the future.
