Arthur’s wife died before he took office. Alice was born while Arthur was in office. Congress, not the mint, picked Alice and described the coin in the law – clearly a commemorative coin (i.e. no reference at all to Arthur or the presidency) rather than a spouse ‘Liberty’ coin. While I don’t care for the First Spouse series I’ll buy the Alice as the commemorative coin I think Congress intended it to be.

Oh the irony! Now Chester Arthur was unmarried. So low and behold the Mint sticks a “Suffragette’ with him to form the required union sale agenda. Juxtaposing, a diametrically apposed social ambivalence, these days, would be like linking Andrew Dice Clay with Eleanor Smeal. If a man won’t marry you just wait a hundred years or so, The Mint Will.

I do too, but I think silver pricing is where they hide all their skeletons and screw-ups but can still make a profit. It shouldn’t be political but in government if you’re not telling something you’re hiding something.

I wish the mint would have similar pricing charts for silver.

Yea, keep on going down. I don’t want to pay more than $1,000 for a proof Alice which means gold has to drop another $100 at least. Maybe next year…
