Back in 2007 I flirted with collecting this series, then gold skyrocketed and I lost my employment forcing me to liquidate many of my gold holdings. Now I want a short set of the four non spouse coins.

2007 Jefferson

First-Spouse-1/2-Oz-Gold-Coins

First-Spouse-1/2-Oz-Gold-Coins

2010 James Buchanan

First-Spouse-1/2-Oz-Gold-Coins

First-Spouse-1/2-Oz-Gold-Coins

The Jackson and Van Buren are on my wish lists.

Anyone else seeking this set or have some of them to show?

Very nice!

I have no gold coins at all. If I were going to start getting gold, these would probably no be too high on my list, but likely above the 2016 Liberty issues.

I hoping to get the other three (including the two you already have), someday.

Great post muddler! I like your coins. I like your coin as well pepactonius!

I might as well show off my one and only first spouse gold piece...the 2012 Alice Paul!

Alice Paul was a leading strategist in the suffrage movement, which ultimately resulting in women obtaining the right to vote with the adoption of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution. What an American hero!

I really appreciate this coin and what it represents. For one, this coin is also one of the "non spouse coins", but she is a real woman, not an allegorical representation of "Liberty". To me, she speaks to the ideals of liberty more than coins with only a symbolic representation of that ideal. Alice Paul literally fought for liberty until the 19th Amendment was passed. I find it unique and interesting that the legislation found a place in the series to honor this woman, who was deserving of honor in her own right, and not simply because she was married to a president (like nearly 90% of the coins in the series).

The suffragists were passionate and determined, truly inspiring! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Sentinels

I did not know that there was another non spouse coin and that Chester Arthur was not wed when he was in the white house. One learns something new, thanks.

Spouse Gold Coins will one day rule the Coin Market. We have gone through changes in the world we live in ever since the early 1900's. Women have played a part in that History and are now one of the most powerful voices of our country. They are the future to make our country grow and also the Coin World. The next generation has lack of knowledge and drive to collect coins that they classify as cool but not my style. Spouse Gold though is the door to the most powerful woman collectors that we have yet to see. A dying coin industry as we walk the bourse floor and members we use to see at booth 203 have either left this earth or have closed up shop. No growth is being made and the internet will soon close more doors as the larger companies take up more market space. Bullion is DEAD for now. Collector coins are on the rise but lack of interest is on a decline. Coin dealers are not the most attractive people to talk with and also not always the most personable. Something may need to change for this industry to survive. Women Collectors I seek you and Potential Collectors I seek you. Spouse Gold is a no brainer and I'm tired of the talkers and want to see more doers in collecting the series.

My company has over 300 pieces currently with a list of collectors that have already jumped the gun to snatch up these coins. I know people shoot this series down but I have never seen a market so exciting versus regular bullion coins. As a dealer and a collector how do you feel about competing with your product for $5 to $15 difference. Spouse Coins to the regular dealer trade between Melt and $15 over melt. My market has Spouse Coins for as little as $50 over melt to values over $3,000 per coin. The overseas market loves these coins. Americans and Coin collectors today are getting slapped in the face with an opportunity that nobody cares about. Why not jump into the next Apple product at $5 a share with the potential of $700 a share. Something good always starts from the bottom up. I'm just a crazy dealer that understands something others don't and betting big that it will come to light.
I sold a 1893-S VF 35 the other day for $5900. A coin with a mintage of 100,000 coins in low grade sold for $5900 its a $1 coin in 1893. Why do you overlook a 1/2 oz Pure gold coin that yes most can't obtain because of the higher value. This series is not going to be for those that can't afford it and if they can't purchase some of the lower mintages; the 2007 Spouses may actually be a steal for the known melting of the earlier years. Think for the future family members and enjoy the collecting process.
