Owner Comments:

2008W Andrew Jackson's Liberty $10 Gold 1/2 Ounce; Mint State NGC MS-70. The Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005 contains a provision to provide continuity of the First Spouse Gold Coin Program during those times in which a President served without a First Spouse.Andrew Jackson’s wife Rachel died in December 1828, just a few months before his presidential inauguration. The gold coins issued to accompany any president without a spouse will each feature a design emblematic of Liberty on its obverse during that time period; this selected image appeared on the Capped Bust Lettered Edge Half Dollar coin from 1807-1836, and was originally executed by U.S. Mint Engraver John Reich.
Known as “Old Hickory”, the reverse design remembers Andrew Jackson as a war hero who led approximately 4,000 American troops against a British Army more than twice that size and emerged victorious in January 1815 at the Battle of New Orleans.
