Description

The 2010 (W) Buchanan's Liberty First Spouse Ten Dollar Gold was struck at the West Point Mint as a dollar in the First Spouse Gold 2007 to Date series. With a mintage of 5,162, this is a rare issue — the highest mintage among 4 variants, accounting for 33% of the year's production. The obverse features a portrait of the presidential spouse (or a representation of Liberty for unmarried presidents) and the reverse displays a scene from the life of the featured spouse. James Buchanan was the only president who never married; the obverse features a Liberty Head design from his era. A modern issue from an era of rotating coin designs, collector-focused programs, and renewed interest in numismatic artistry. Coined at the West Point Mint, which transitioned from bullion depository to a dedicated production facility for commemorative and investment-grade coins. Estimated market value is approximately $5.1K. Struck in 99.99% gold, weighing 15.55 grams, 26.5 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #418381.
