[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 175715, member: 66"]I thought the First Lady designs weren't being released until the 19th. Not likely. She will have to have been dead for two years before her turn rolls around. Like wise Bill will have to have been dead for two years before his turn on the President coin rolls around for Hillery to get her First Lady coin. So there is a pretty fair chance that she won't get to be on either one. For three of the four presidents that did not have a wife while they were in office the FL coin will have a representation of Liberty based upon one of the ones in use during his term of office. For Thomas Jefferson it will be based on the Draped Bust design. For the last of the four they are going to put a portrait of a woman sufferagette (whose name escapes me at the moment, Alice Paul?) for absolutely no good reason whatsoever. I believe the only connection is that she was born during his term of office, but of course did nothing of any account until decades later, so it is totally inappropriate for the coin. The other three all show on the reverse events that occured during the presidents term of office, not decades later.[/QUOTE]
