Will thenew tomestone currency start during ea?

Was curious if the new currency will be available on the 19th and if it will reset on the 23rd.

I'd assume so, everything is going to open up on the 19th except for the 2nd tomestones and Alexander. Doubt they'd reset on the 23rd.

No, it won't be available until four weeks after Heavensward is released.

Check out the summary of the Live Letter XX here. The section you're looking for is under the "Release Schedule" heading on the second post.

Release Schedule

Everything that we discussed today will be available at the start of Heavensward. However, as I discussed previously, if we were to release items and content that have weekly restrictions, we are worried that it would create situations where players would try to rush through everything as soon as possible and force others to skip cutscenes. This would also lead to situations where players would not be allowed to level up and enjoy the new content at their own pace.

As such, we will be introducing the Alexander raid two weeks after the release of Heavensward on June 23. Unlike the Coil of Bahamut, players will be able to re-enter a floor in Alexander even after clearing it (similar to the Crystal Tower). You won't be able to obtain another item once you've received an item, but you will still be able to help your friends. This version is intended for everyone to enjoy the scenario surrounding the new raid.

Alexander (Savage) and the Allagan tomestones of Esoterics will become available two weeks after the release of the normal mode of Alexander. We have removed content with weekly restrictions for the first four weeks of release. Also, unlike previous item level caps, we will have more phases and the range of item levels is much greater than before. We would like players to spend their first four weeks enjoying the game freely, and discuss with other players to plan and decide on what jobs they will be playing following this schedule.

Additionally, we’re planning to release the new Frontline map at the same time Alexander (Savage) is released. Honestly, we were not sure if we should release this at the beginning of Heavensward, but we assume most players will be focusing on the main story and leveling, and this may cause a situation where it’ll take longer to get into a match, therefore, we've moved the release timing to this point.

Esoteric tomes (the weekly capped one) will come 4 weeks after release, but not the Law tomes

Pretty sure I read somewhere it would be available 2 weeks after release (at the same time as Alexander "Normal" mode).
But I cannot find this info anymore :(

It was confirmed early on that Tomestones and Alexander (both versions of each) would be rolled out post-launch, to give people time to play the early content at their own pace.

New capped tomestones (Esoteric) will not be in initially, new uncapped tomestones (Law) will be. Tomestones of Law will buy ilvl170 gear, which will be the standard to start out Alexander story mode.

Yes, this is true, my quote was specific for Esoteric tomes. I imagine the Law tomestone will be similar to Philosophy and be uncapped on launch - but this is just my own assumption and should be taken with a grain of salt.

Will the weekly cap remain at 900 or will it get reduced back to 450?

No one knows what the Esoteric cap will be. It could be something completely different. I'm pretty sure it won't be 900 however, they only increased Poetics cap to give people more to do before Heavensward.
