Description

A dollar from the West Point Mint, the 2009 (W) Letitia Tyler First Spouse Ten Dollar Gold belongs to the First Spouse Gold 2007 to Date series. With a mintage of 3,240, this is a rare issue — ranked 2nd of 5 mint variants by mintage, with 19% 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. First wife of John Tyler who suffered a stroke and was largely confined during her time as First Lady. A modern issue from an era of rotating coin designs, collector-focused programs, and renewed interest in numismatic artistry. The West Point Mint, once a bullion depository, became a full production facility specializing in commemorative and bullion coinage. 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 #404566.
