2010-W 1/2 oz Proof Gold Buchanan's Liberty (w/Box & COA)
This half-ounce gold coin from 2010 represents a fascinating chapter in the First Spouse series. Because James Buchanan served his presidency without a wife, this issue takes a creative approach to its design. The obverse features a classic depiction of Lady Liberty, replicating the artwork originally created by Christian Gobrecht for the Quarter Eagle coin that circulated from 1840 to 1907. This elegant profile is accompanied by inscriptions that mark Buchanan's term in office, spanning from 1857 to 1861, just prior to the outbreak of the Civil War. On the reverse, the coin tells a personal story from the future president's early life. It depicts a young Buchanan working as a bookkeeper inside the country store owned by his family. Struck at the West Point Mint in New York from 0.9999 fine gold, this ten-dollar denomination piece beautifully blends historical narrative with numismatic tradition.
