You could edit the title and get more responses. As for me, I'm in for one of each, probably not this month, but next month (January).

All night...a nasty depressed money hungry mean woman.
No wonder every chance he got he would take a long ride alone on horseback

She was just a beard
No way someone marries her to actually ... well, you know.
We will see.

<< <i>Probably more than Lincoln had
Yes, and it's sad because Mary Lincoln was among the "undeserving" First Ladies who don't deserve to have the honor of a U.S. gold commemorative coin. From a historical perspective, this program reeks.
<< <i>The only one with some merit is Jackie Kennedy. THAT will be the most popular coin in the series, by far, in my opinion. Lets hope they do a good portrait! >>
She wasn't much to look at, however, I think Eleanor Roosevelt, had quite a lot of merit. She did a lot for a lot of people.

Eleanor Roosevelt was an example of woman raised in upper class circumstances (although her childhood was not easy because her father was an alcoholic) who had no idea how capitalism worked or how a business was run. She was an advocate of excess government meddling in the economy that in the end made the Great Depression longer.
On a more personal level she was cruel wife who cut her husband off totally after he had an affair. If you like to read more about this you might check out the late Margaret Truman’s book on the first ladies. Despite their similarities in party affiliation, Margaret Truman was no Eleanor Roosevelt fan.
Jackie Kennedy on the other hand was woman of grace, class and polish. She was a highly intelligent first lady who brought much to the position. She also bore up well in the pressures created by her husband’s serial affairs. Yes, there are some who say that she put up with too much and should have gone public. But that would have wrecked the Kennedy presidency at time when the nation was under considerable stress in dealing with the Soviet Union.

2,704 troy ounces of "hard money" Jefferson nickels vs. a half ounce of the Lincoln spouse. The nickels ($841 face) have a metal value of $1,058, although it is illegal to melt them at this time.
