Forgot to rate coin itself browser chopped off rating on my screen. Have all first spouses had this run-up in price?
Ratings:Having a name sake coin was my life desire. Now there are 4 coins Proof & Unc. Julia was 24 and John was 54. He had 7 children by Julia and 7 living with Letita (one child died before her first year, 1825). Would like to know the Proofs & uncirculated coins for Julia & Letita but seems the numbers are lumped together for each first spouse.
Ratings:The design of Julia is stunning. She was a NY debutante and beautiful.
I agree on the design, Julia Tyler comes across very well on the coin, making for a above average design.Investment potential is still there as this lackluster series continues to avoid collector demand.
Ratings:Hey, old John Tyler did alright. Unlike some of the others, this woman is easy on the eyes and the portrait is very well done. This series is going to be hot once the price of gold stabilizes.
