Now, the images have been released. They are on the Mint's website. I wonder what they will put on the bronze versions instead of 1/2 ounce .999 fine gold.

 

I like the Jefferson one!
Very nice Liberty.
The others, well, keep them.

 

I guess beauty in eye of looker.

 

These all sound like more interesting coins to me! :thumb:

 

spouses

I will be purchasing my first gold coin in 2007 and as much as i dislike the spouses collection the draped bust is really nice. I think the liberty's (no spouse) will be the winners.

 

That draped bust is awesome. Put me down for 5.

 

Gold $10 24K gold proof.... no way!!

$3.50 bronze medallion, sure I'll collect the set that way...

What do they think we are.. millionaires

 

first lady gold

without face value. it is like a gold medal. i like the third one. ( liberty ). but i don't have plan to these this gold seires.

 

The bronze medals will be larger in diameter than the gold ones. I htink they will be like 1.3 inches.

 

The gold ones will be coins, with a nominal denomination on the reverse. The bronze versions will be true medals.

 

Super stoked about Lady Liberty's coin :thumb: Can't wait! Can't wait! Can't wait! Can't wait!

 

They will have a face value of $10 printed on the reverse.

 

half ounce gold coin

why only $10.00 face value?. will it supposed to be $25.00 for half ounce gold?. anyone?.

 

It's pretty common for NCLT to be issued with a face value that's only a small fraction of the actual bullion value at the time of issue. Basically issuing mints simply pluck a number out of the air.

 

I've never called it "thin air" before... :goofer:

 

Here's the order: http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/firstSpouse/index.cfm?action=schedule

Can't wait for these Liberties!!! :hail:

2008
7 Andrew Jackson's Liberty 1829-1837
8 Martin Van Buren's Liberty 1837-1841

2010
15 James Buchanan's Liberty 1857-1861

 

Because it roughly matches the weight specs for an eagle. They are working under the fiction that this is a coin and not just a bullion piece. The half oz bullion piece has a $25 face value, but the 1/2 oz gold coin was an eagle or ten dollar gold coin.

Don't wait for the Buchanan Liberty, there won't be one. For his first lady coin for some reason we get a portrayal of women's suffragette Alice Paul. Whose only connection to Buchanan's presidency was that she was born during it.
