Description

The 2012 (W) Frances Cleveland 1st First Spouse Ten Dollar Gold represents a West Point Mint issue from the First Spouse Gold 2007 to Date series. With a mintage of 2,454, this is a rare issue — ranked 3rd of 4 mint variants by mintage, with 24% of 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. Youngest First Lady in history at age 21 when she married President Grover Cleveland in the White House in 1886. She is honored with two coins in the series for Cleveland's two non-consecutive terms. 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 #512921.
