The draped bust design sure beats the busts of Martha and Abigail! 
Seriously, I also believe this will be a key coin in the series due to its unique and desirable design and the way it was sold. Most of these coins will be in the hands of collectors and the big dealers will only have a pittance to sell off at huge prices.
There will be more spouse coins w/o spouse images for presidents who were widowed while in office (like Jefferson) or bachelors. Here's a list:
Andrew Jackson - 1829
Martin Van Buren - 1837
John Tyler - 1842
James Buchanan - 1857
Chester A. Arthur - 1881 (speculation that Alice Paul will be honored instead of a liberty design)
Grover Cleveland - 1885
Benjamin Harrison - 1892 (2d term)
The mint plans to use the liberty design from the era that the president served for the obverse design.
