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

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) image

Thanks, GrandAm image

    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.

    Different to some degree, from what I've seen

    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.

    Gary, I thought you knew all of them personally image

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    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.
    HAPPY COLLECTING!!!

    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!!!image
