23 May 2008 - 12:06Louisa Adams First Spouse Gold Ordering Information
Today the US Mint announced the pricing and ordering information for the upcoming Louisa Adams First Spouse Gold Coins. This will be the sixth release of the First Spouse Gold Coin Program, and the second coin released during 2008.
The coins will go on sale at the US Mint on May 29, 2008 at 12:00 Noon ET.
The proof version of the coin is offered at $619.95. The uncirculated version of the coin is offered at $599.95.
There is an ordering limit of one coin per household for the first week of release. After that time period the Mint will re-evaluate and either increase or remove the ordering limit. Total production of the coins is limited to 40,000. The split between proof and uncirculated coins will be determined based on sales demand.
The pricing for the latest release of the series matches that of the previous coin honoring Elizabeth Monroe. The Monroe coins were released on February 28, 2008 when spot gold was trading at $972 per ounce. Today, spot gold is at $924 per ounce. The premium for the coins is a bit higher, but at least the Mint seems to be getting back to consistent pricing for the series.
