The 2016 (W) Betty Ford First Spouse Ten Dollar Gold is a dollar produced at the West Point Mint as part of the First Spouse Gold 2007 to Date series. With a mintage of 1,824, this is a rare issue — the lowest mintage among 3 mint variants, representing only 32% 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. Wife of Gerald Ford who openly discussed her breast cancer diagnosis and later founded the Betty Ford Center for addiction treatment. A modern issue from an era of rotating coin designs, collector-focused programs, and renewed interest in numismatic artistry. Struck at the West Point Mint, originally a bullion depository that became a full coin production facility, specializing in commemorative and bullion 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 #598540.
