And she quickly sold out at the Mint! In 2007, the U.S. Mint commenced the $10 First Spouse Gold Coin Program. Each coin honors the First Lady of every president, starting with Martha Washington. James Buchanan, the 15th President, was single, so for his 2010 coin the mint used the bust of Christian Gobrecht's Miss Liberty last used on U.S. gold coins in 1907. The engravers at the mint sure did their homework. The Liberty bust is an exact replica of coins from back in the day. It's uncanny!

And she's reborn in all her glory! These 2010 specimens are as fresh and crisp as the $10 Liberty Gold Eagles that fell from the presses at the U.S. Mint in the 19th and early 20th centuries. But that's not all. Each coin is a half ounce of 99.99% gold, the highest-purity gold used by the mint to strike coins.
