    I saw on "CoinNews.Net" that there was a bronze medal in the likeness of the Sarah Polk gold coin. Did the mint do one for each of the Fist Ladies (where applicable) so far?

    Yeah, they've done bronze medals for each one. Sold in 4-medal sets 2007 is sold out and I don't think 2008 is available anymore either. 2009 set hasn't come out yet.

    Can buy them individually here though if you only wanted a specific coin, otherwise, it's a little cheaper to get the 4 coin set when it comes out. I think it's either $11.95 or $12.95

    More importantly, is there an "album" available for them..?

    Yes, Whitman makes a album for them. Check out Brent-kruger.com.

    Thanks! I kind of ""sloppily" checked Google...

    PS... I went to Amazon and found this review of the Whitman album - "Be aware! This product is well made but there is one big flaw. There are no spots for the second wives of John Tyler and Woodrow Wilson. The company mistakenly assumed that the two wives would be combined on one medal but that is not the case."

    Thanks for the heads up on that, I'd guess the companies will release newer versions of the albums if they haven't already. I'd be checking them out before buying one though. I'm probably just going to keep mine in my yearly sets though. But would be cool to see these tone in an album of course ;)
