First Lady Gold bullion

[Dockwalliper]

The new Presidential dollar coin bill includes Production of an accompanying first lady $10 1/2 oz. .999 fine gold bullion coin.

I was just wondering how these would be recieved.

[Tiffibunny]

To expensive for me. So nope.

[UncleBobo]

I don't do gold.

 

It would have to be something to really peak my interest to get me to make an investiment like that and the first ladies just isn't the thing to do it.

[bustchaser]

No, first of all they are gold--by FAR the ugliest metal ever used for a coin. However, even if they were minted in an attractive metal it is simply a money making scheme for the mint. I won't be spending a dime on them. Of course, I think the entire package--presidents, first ladies, new reverses for cents, even more Sacies which won't circulate any better than the ones already laying around taking up space, etc--is simply a dumb idea.

Are aliens allowed to vote here? If not, substract 1 from the number of votes for "Nah, it's a dumb idea."

Dumb idea. Can't afford it. But I am sure some will collect them.

If I understand it right there are three sorts of aliens

Legal aliens living in the US

Illegal aliens living in the US

and we non US citizens

Your forgot THOSE aliens. You know, the ones that run everything...

Spending some money on silver bullion I can understand, maybe even the 1/10 oz gold. But the 1/2 ouncers are going to be pretty pricey. For $300 I can get some nice coins with infinitely more interesting history than the picture of Franklin Pierce's wife.

 

Quick trivia: Who was the only bachelor president?

NOOOOOOOOO. Leave the platinum and gold eagles alone! Those are REALLY pretty! Any more nonsense coins and you will get an outrage from us (maybe?)

 

 

(speaking of which, I shouldn't be talking such nonsense either, I am looking at a field where there are too many varities of precious metal coins, forget gold itself )

[Coinjoe2006]

I dont have any gold yet. I dont want to be my first piece to be of some first lady. Unless it was a specific one that did a lot for the country, like Ellonore.

[Brett]

One of the dumbest ideas ever thought up!!!!

[Kat]

Jackie -- she'll be a must have.

 

Jackie and Eleanor but tell me again what the rest of them did?

[Coinjoe2006]

I think its a complete waste of gold, if you ask me. What do you think the mint will do when they see that its a complete flop in the middle of the series?

[Brett]

I don't think it will make it to the middle of the series. I would be surprised if it made it for 2 complete years. I know they want it to me a big money maker, but I don't think there are enough general public or collectors to warrant keeping the program going.

[Guest Stujoe]

I wanted to vote for both 1 and 2.

Chester A. Arther and you know who gets to be on his "First Lady" coin?.....

 

in the case

5 of President Chester Alan Arthur, by

6 a design incorporating the name and

7 likeness of Alice Paul, a leading strat-

8 egist in the suffrage movement, who

9 was instrumental in gaining women

10 the right to vote upon the adoption of

11 the 19th amendment and thus the

12 ability to participate in the election of

13 future Presidents, and who was born

14 on January 11, 1885, during the term

15 of President Arthur; and

16 ``(ii) the reverse of such bullion coin

17 shall be of a design representative of

18 themes of such President, except that in

19 the case of the bullion coin referred to in

20 clause (i)(II) the reverse of such coin shall

21 be representative of the suffrage move-

22 ment.

They might have better luck selling this if they added a First Mistresses series as well.

[fjrosetti]

Wonder what happen if, after a few are issued, someone starts a poll for best/worst designs. Who ends up at the bottom of the heap? And the top? This could turn into a beauty contest!!
