Description

A dollar from the West Point Mint, the 2015 (W) Bess Truman First Spouse Ten Dollar Gold belongs to the First Spouse Gold 2007 to Date series. With a mintage of 1,654, this is a rare issue — ranked 2nd of 4 mint variants by mintage, with 16% 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. Wife of Harry S. Truman who fiercely guarded her family's privacy but supported her husband's famous 1948 whistle-stop campaign. 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 #542696.
