First Spouse Gold Coin


A series of gold coins issued by the United States Mint from 2007 to 2020, featuring the spouses of U.S. presidents on the obverse. This series was initially very popular, but then interest declined a few years later. The U.S. Mint responded by lowering the mintages dramatically. Some of the keys (going by lowest mintage) include the 2014-W Eleanor Roosevelt in business strike and proof, as well as the 2011-W Lucy Hayes business strike.
