Description

Produced at the West Point Mint, the 2012 (W) Frances Cleveland 2nd First Spouse Ten Dollar Gold is part of the First Spouse Gold 2007 to Date series. With a mintage of 2,425, this is a rare issue — the lowest mintage among 4 mint variants, representing only 24% of total 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. West Point's facility evolved from a bullion storage depot into a key coin production center, now responsible for many commemorative and precious-metal issues. 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 #512928.
