The United States Mint’s First Spouse Series pays tribute to the First Ladies who stood beside their husbands during their time as Presidents of the United States. This collection follows the historical order of American Presidents, beginning with Martha Washington and continuing through Barbara Bush. Each First Lady is featured after her husband's passing and subsequent inclusion in the $1 Presidential Coin Series. Today, the 2013-W 1/2 oz US Mint First Spouse Ida McKinley Gold Coin is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Ida McKinley, born Ida Saxton in 1847, met William McKinley in 1867, and the two wed in January 1871. Even before becoming First Lady, her health had declined significantly, and her condition remained apparent throughout her time in the White House. The First Lady’s struggles with epilepsy and phlebitis often confined her to a chair and limited many of her official duties as First Lady.
All 2013-W 1/2 oz US Mint First Spouse Ida McKinley Gold Coins available here have been graded Mint State 70, meaning it is a perfect specimen with its full, original mint luster intact and no visible imperfections. David Hall, co-founder of the Professional Coin Grading Service, hand-signed the label in the slab.
The obverse of the 2013-W US Mint First Spouse Ida McKinley Gold Coin features a left-profile portrait of the First Lady. President McKinley was deeply devoted to his wife and often disregarded established Presidential traditions to care for her. He notably seated her beside him at state dinners, deviating from long-standing seating customs so that he could tend to her in the event she experienced seizures.
The reverse of the 2013-W 1/2 oz First Spouse Ida McKinley Gold Coin depicts her hands engaged in crocheting. Despite her health struggles, she found purpose in crafting thousands of slippers, which were sold to benefit children's charities and other causes.
