Description

The 2007 (W) Proof Abigail Adams First Spouse Ten Dollar Gold is a proof $10 gold coin struck at the West Point Mint, part of the First Spouse Gold 2007 to Date series. The Red Book figure shown is a reference number, not a Mint net mintage; the Mint's only published count is its gross first-day sales. The obverse features a portrait of Abigail Adams and the reverse displays a scene from her life. Wife of John Adams and early advocate for women's rights whose famous letters urged her husband to "remember the ladies." The reverse features that phrase from her letter about creating the new Republic. A modern issue from an era of rotating coin designs, collector-focused programs, and renewed interest in numismatic artistry. As a proof issue, this coin was struck multiple times on specially prepared polished planchets using polished dies, producing mirror-like fields and frosted design elements. Struck at the West Point Mint, originally a bullion depository that became a full coin production facility, specializing in commemorative and bullion issues. Struck in 99.99% gold, weighing 15.55 grams, 26.5 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #150892.
