Anyone know how many the Mint produced in this first batch? Was it half of the 75,000, 25% or what? Since they have to produce at two different Mint locations then packaging I would expect it would be August before the next batch can be put together for shipment.

I received my sets today also.
The Mints ordering and shipping systems are much improved.

Great Job to the US Mint for these improvements.

I ordered on 5/5 and received my set today. Beware, when I tried pulling the first dime capsule from the box the plastic coin capsule opened right up. I quickly grabbed a cotton glove before trying to adjust the coin back in the capsule and reseal it. The reverse proof looks great!

I managed to get 4 sets this morning after reading about 92% sets sold. Now, all gone.

(Actually, the Mint’s website says “currently unavailable,” but for all practical purposes, they’re gone, folks.)

I believe that the US Mint just felt this was the quickest way to get these issues off their “books”. I would have hoped that the Mint would see the “writing on the wall” and cut off all the First Spouse Gold Issues for 2013 and 2014. Weekly sales have managed to be less than a hand full or less than ten each week. I collect them but there is on doubt that the series is not popular.

Actually, I thought that was pretty slow. I guess the excitement did not carry over because of two new dimes in the set. Still, the price did seem fair. This slow sales makes me wonder about the upcoming presidential C&C sets with the reverse proof dollar coin. They might do better at their low mintage but I still feel the coin itself is like a gas station token sets Texaco and Sinclair gave out in the 60’s and 70’s.
