Buchanan’s Liberty First Spouse Gold Coins Issued
The United States Mint today at noon ET placed Buchanan's Liberty First Spouse Gold Coins on sale.
The coin prices can go up or down weekly depending on the prevailing cost of gold, but the proof version opened with a price of $779 and the uncirculated option was listed for $766.
James Buchanan was the only American President never to marry. However, the law authorizing the gold series still mandates the production of First Spouse Gold Coins as companions to the Buchanan Presidential Dollars.
