4 June 2010 - 8:22Jane Pierce First Spouse Gold Coin Release
The United States Mint released the Jane Pierce First Spouse Gold Coin on June 3, 2010. This will be the fifteenth release in the series created to honor the spouses of the Presidents.
The obverse of the coin features a portrait of the First Lady designed by Donna Weaver. The reverse of the coin, also designed by Weaver, features a scene of Jane Pierce sitting in the visitor’s gallery of the Old Senate Chamber in the U.S. Capitol Building. Here, she was known to sit and listen to the debates on slavery.
The Jane Pierce First Spouse Coins carry a maximum mintage of 15,000 coins across the proof and uncirculated versions. This is a step down from the maximum levels set in prior years, but probably still not an attainable level. The most recent coins of the series that went off-sale had combined sales of less than 9,000 coins.
Pricing for the coins is set at $779 for proof and $766 for uncirculated coins. This is the highest starting level for any issue of the series to date.
In general, First Spouse Gold Coins remain available for sale until the maximum authorized mintage has been sold or approximately one year, whichever occurs first.
