Jeffersonslibertycoin.com is here to bring full awareness to the public about Thomas Jefferson's Liberty coins minted by the United States Mint. Stay tuned for new information and news on the NEW coin!
This year marks the inaugural year of the First Spouse Gold Coin Series, the United States Mint’s first coin series to feature our Nation’s First Spouses.
Four, one-half ounce, $10 24-karat Gold First Spouse Coins will be minted and released annually in the order the spouses served in the White House. The coins will be minted in proof and uncirculated condition and are available individually. Each First Spouse Gold Coin will coincide with the release of the four circulating Presidential $1 Coins annually. In 2007, the United States Mint will release the first four coins in the series which include: Martha Washington, Abigail Adams, Thomas Jefferson’s Liberty and Dolley Madison.
Thomas Jefferson’s Liberty: The obverse, designed by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Robert Scot (1793-1823), features a reproduction of the Draped Bust Half-Cent obverse minted in the early 1800’s. The reverse, designed and sculpted by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Charles Vickers, features President Jefferson’s grave marker at Monticello with the epitaph he requested to reflect his most significant accomplishments.
First Spouse Gold Uncirculated Coins are available in limited mintages. Each First Spouse One-Half Ounce Gold Uncirculated Coin is packaged in a custom-designed presentation case and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the Director of the United States Mint.
Jefferson’s Liberty Coin Maximum Mintage: 40,000 maximum mintage for this design. A maximum of up to 20,000 proof coins, and a maximum of 20,000 uncirculated coins, will be produced.
A limit of one coin per product option per household is in effect for the first week of this product’s release. At the end of this period, the United States Mint will reevaluate this limit and either extend, adjust or remove it.
The Thomas Jefferson’s Liberty Gold Coins will begin shipping in late September.

Where can I purchase Jefferson's Liberty Coins?:
The Thomas Jefferson's Liberty Coins went on sale at USMINT.com on (August 30, 2007 at 12:00 Noon ET). As of (August 30, 2007 at 3:00 PM ET), the U.S. Mint website noted that Uncirculated & Proof coin orders have met their maximums at 20,000 coins each! We will see soon that the availability of these coins will grow increasingly slim. Prices should close to double when these coins begin to reach collectors hands. The coins are expected to ship from the U.S. mint on September 24, 2007. I have already noticed that people are listing their back-ordered coins on ebay for prices of around $850USD for the Proof Coin.
If you didn't make your purchase from the U.S. Mint website shortly after the coins went on sale, we recommend waiting for PCGS graded coins become available. Only purchase these coins from a certified dealer or trusted Ebay seller.

Th Jefferson's Liberty Coins are the third coin in the First Spouse Presidential coin program started by the U.S. Mint in 2007. The interesting thing about this coin is that Thomas Jefferson didn't have a Spouse. The design chosen for these coins were modeled from the original design for the 1800's Draped Bust Half-Cent. The draped bust design on the obverse will yield collectors value, as well as the low mintages!
