2007-W 1/2 oz Gold Dolley Madison BU (w/Box & COA)

---

In 2007, a special series of gold coins commenced to honor the First Ladies of the United States. Among these early releases is a ten dollar coin struck from a half ounce of highly pure, 0.9999 fine gold. Minted at the West Point facility in New York, this piece carries the 'W' mint mark and is preserved in brilliant uncirculated condition, showcasing a clean strike and lustrous surfaces. The obverse features a detailed portrait of Dolley Madison, framed by the inscriptions LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, and her name. It also notes her place in history as the spouse of the fourth president, spanning the years 1809 to 1817. This side establishes her legacy with elegance and simplicity. The reverse design captures a dramatic historical moment from the War of 1812. It depicts Dolley Madison actively saving crucial state documents and a famous portrait of George Washington from the advancing fire that consumed the White House in 1814. This narrative scene is surrounded by the country of issue, the denomination, and the gold purity markings, creating a powerful tribute to a moment of remarkable courage.
