Is the Jefferson First Spouse "Liberty" coin the only one?

GRANDAM

Were there any other Presidents that didn't have a wife while in office? Will the Jefferson coin be the only one? I guess I should know this but don't recall there ever being much discussion of the 1st Lady's when I was in school. (so LONG ago)

Thanks, GrandAm

I think there were 5. But I dont know for sure

AskRaq

Four total (listed in another thread somewhere) as I recall.

Number 7, 8 and 15 are also Liberties, making a set of four coins.

See the complete list at this US Mint link:

4 total, and 2 more of them are in 2008 and I think the last is 2009 or 2010 I believe.

There were 5 Presidents without wifes but the Mint is only minting 4 Libertys. The 5th, by act of the all knowing Congress of ours, will feature a women's libber by the name of Alice Paul on President Arthur's coin. She was a cohort of Susan B.

GRANDAM

Thanks for the info so far,,,,,,, will the other coins be the same Lady Liberty or a different design?


GrandAm

Different to some degree, from what I've seen

ModernCoinMart

Thomas Jefferson's Liberty
Andrew Jackson's Liberty
Martin Van Buren's Liberty
James Buchanan's Liberty

Chester A. Arthur was a widower when he assumed the presidency, and Alice Paul, a leader of the suffrage movement, will appear on his corresponding First Spouse gold coin.

Susie B. was Civil War era womens lib, Alice Paul was WWI era womens lib.

Why on earth are they doing the Classic head twice instead of using a different design for one of them?

After next years liberties, the flippers will have some real difficulty selling the regular FirstHags™.

Premiums will shrink, and mintages trail off considerably off the 20,000 proof/ 20,000 ms.

I don't think they are the exact same design.

Elizabeth Monroe looks like a Hobbit in that coin pictured above. I wonder if an old Hobbit coin will have more demand than an old Hag coin?
I might buy something other than the Liberty designs if the woman on the coin looks hot. Anyone else looking for an attractive first lady or am I the only one?

Oh how I lust for a Marilyn Monroe first spouse coin!!!
