I think they have a lot of nerve even offing something like this costing $50,000dollars. Oh sure, I`ll just dig up some spare change I have lying around and place an order.

The United States Mint may produce additional coins to satisfy orders throughout the year for the first few designs if time and resources permit; however, there is no guarantee, and orders may be refused..."<br /><br />Another 'interesting' marketing ploy by the mint to make as much $$$ off of the casual collector as possible. <br /><br />I was really excited about this series and had subscribed to the 2-roll sets as well as the silver and clad proof sets. I have received the first two sets in the series and am glad I just read this as I am now cancelling my subscription and will not be pursuing this series now. <br /><br />Even with low (seemingly) mintages, there will be a glut of these available and I really do not see this series being worth the space needed to store it. <br /><br />Oh well.

The number on the weekly Mint report will not change from the 2,861 last reported.<br /><br />I do know that the Mint was not accepting any orders for the coin on Thursday morning, as I tried to order one at the last minute. Despite the fact that the coin showed as available on the website, when trying to place an order it stopped you on the final page and changed your order total to ".00", so they had already stopped taking orders.<br /><br />I've never seen ANY official final mintage numbers for the First Spouse series, not even the 2007 Dolley Madisons or the 2008's. Those are definitely final by now, but were never revealed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-40911445154444193462010-06-09T08:15:49.356-07:002010-06-09T08:15:49.356-07:00When do we find out if the Julia Tyler spouse was ...When do we find out if the Julia Tyler spouse was over 3000 coins.
