2007 US Mint First Spouse Gold Coins

On Tuesday 6/19 the U.S. Mint released its first round of 2007 First Spouse Gold Coins. Collectors are calling them "Hags" - sort of in an endearing way.

This year marks the inaugural year of the First Spouse Gold Coin Series, the United States Mint's first coin series to feature our Nation's First Spouses.

Four, one-half ounce, $10 24-karat Gold First Spouse Coins will be minted and released annually in the order the spouses served in the White House. The coins will be minted in proof and uncirculated condition and are available individually. Each First Spouse Gold Coin will coincide with the release of the four circulating Presidential $1 Coins annually. In 2007, the United States Mint will release the first four coins in the series which include: Martha Washington, Abigail Adams, Thomas Jefferson's Liberty and Dolley Madison.

These coins sold out within two hours and are bound to fetch huge prices in the coming months. Guess even coin collectors love hags.
