The First Spouse Series at the United States Mint honors the First Ladies who served alongside their husbands while the latter was in office as President of the United States of America. The collection follows the order of the Presidents in American history, from Martha Washington to Barbara Bush. The collection will feature each First Lady after their husband’s death and subsequent appearance in the $1 Presidential Coin Series. Right now, 2013-W 1/2 oz US Mint First Spouse Ida McKinley Gold Coins are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each of the 2013-W 1/2 oz US Mint First Spouse Ida McKinley Gold Coins offered here come in Mint State 70 condition. Coins with this grade are considered perfect specimens and exhibit full, original mint luster with no visible flaws.
Born Ida Saxton in 1847, the First Lady was a trailblazer in the 19th century. She worked at her father’s bank as a cashier, a position that was traditionally filled by men and seen as beneath her social standing. Ida met William McKinley in 1867 and the two were married in January 1871. Long before she came to the White House with President McKinley, the future First Lady’s health had deteriorated and her poor condition was evident throughout her time as First Lady.
The obverse of the 2013-W US Mint First Spouse Ida McKinley Gold Coin comes with a left-profile portrait of Ida McKinley. President McKinley was devoted to his First Lady and often broke accepted Presidential protocols of the time to ensure he could care for his wife. For example, he often had the First Lady seated right next to him during state dinners, breaking the accepted seating arrangements that had persisted for decades prior.
On the reverse of 2013-W 1/2 oz First Spouse Ida McKinley Gold Coins, you’ll find a depiction of her hands crocheting. Despite her health challenges while serving as First Lady, Mrs. McKinley was known for crocheting thousands of slippers that were sold for charity, with proceeds being sent to children’s charities.
