<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 705574, member: 9474&quot;]Here is something I just read in the latest issue of Coin World that made me ponder the question......should we even have a first spouse coin for President Buchanan since he was the only president that was never married?&nbsp; Think about it.&nbsp; Apparently members of the CCAC brought this point up during their review for the obverse and reverse of the 2010 coin. As quoted in CW, &quot;Since Buchanan remained a bachelor all his life, his place in the spouse series may seem questionable&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp; Maybe a small oversight by Congress?&nbsp; Who knows.&nbsp; But it appears that he is still getting a first spouse coin.&nbsp; However it turns out, I can&#039;t wait to see Gobrecht&#039;s Liberty on the obverse.....definitely a site to see!&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Although I have thoroughly enjoyed collecting and viewing all the Liberties on the First Spouse coins, I personally feel that the series should have strictly honored the first spouses and possibly the official White House hostesses for those presidents that did not have wives while in office.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
