First Spouse Gold Coins
The first spouse gold coins program is quite successful as collectors and investors are increasing their demand for these popular coins. This program was started in 2007 to honor our country’s first ladies and will feature every First Lady through Pat Nixon who held that position from 1969 to 1974. The coins will be issued 4 or 5 per year through 2016.
Some presidents obviously were not married such as Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren and in those cases a coin will still be issued but it will feature a depiction of Lady Liberty on the Obverse and themes from the President’s life on the reverse. The coins are all one half ounce 24 karat gold or .9999 percent pure, thus making them true bullion coins. All have a face value of $10
The United States Mint wanted to get into the true bullion coin market due to demand from investors and in 2006 started out with the first true bullion coin issued in the United States which was the Buffalo Gold Coin. Since then the First Spouse gold coins have been added to the bullion coin lineup and will continue through at least 2016 with this program.
