Description

The 2009 (W) Julia Tyler 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 3,143, this is a rare issue — the lowest mintage among 5 mint variants, representing only 18% 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. Second wife of John Tyler who married the president while he was in office, becoming the youngest First Lady at age 24. 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 #404568.
