<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 532831, member: 4626&quot;]I&#039;ll look at the locan coin shop, trouble is I don&#039;t recall seeing many pages for 1 5/16&quot; medals (main reason I bought this particular album, since it&#039;s a rather odd coin size).&nbsp; But I&#039;ll check...</p><p><br /></p><p>First page is at least correctly labeled.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Know it was a joke... but at the time of publication they were unsure if the first spouse series would continue past Betty Ford, so past her there&#039;s just 7 blank unlabeled holes.&nbsp; Not going to stir up the debate again on precisely where the series ends, but based on most people&#039;s interpretation a first spouse gets a coin and medal the same time her husband does, even if the first spouse is still alive; so if Ronald Reagan gets one, so would Nancy Reagan, even if she&#039;s still alive at the time (though odds are she won&#039;t still be alive in 2016 anyway, though it&#039;s possible).&nbsp; Whether the presidential series ends with Ford or Reagan is a matter of interpretation and porbably won&#039;t be known until we get the far and the Mint actually makes some sort of declaration.&nbsp; Though if Carter dies between now and 2014, it would be a moot point.&nbsp; (He will be having his 85th birthday this year, and so far only 4 presidents have lived past age 90, though he and George H.W. Bush could become the 5th and 6th...).</p><p><br /></p><p>During the election I speculated that Bill Clinton may have ended up as being the only person with both a presidential coin and a first spouse coin (though even had Hillary won, the series would likely have not got that far, since you have to have been dead at least 2 years before being honored, and he&#039;s only 62 atm.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway will check the coin store to see if they have corrected or unlabeled pages or something.&nbsp; I&#039;d normally have just got one from Dansco, I actually prefer them most of the time, but as of the last time I checked they didn&#039;t have an album for 1 5/16&quot; bronze medals.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
