First Spouse Registry sets posted by jxs525

Did anyone noticed the registry mistake?

 

When I was adding my Helen Taft proof coin to my registry, I notice that the last two coins for this year(Ellen Wilson and Edith Wilson) has been combined into one coin slot. So I checked all the other sets, I found out that all the gold sets have the mistake, the medal set is correct.

I sent a support request to them, hope they fix it soon.

 

Happy Collecting! Jimmie

Hi,

 

So if Woodrow Wilson had 2 wives as President why is this series called "First Spouse" as they are both honored with a coin.

 

I assume Wilson was not a Mormon and wasn't initially married to Ellen and Edith simultaneously.

 

Souldn't it be First Lady, or are they thinking ahead to maybe Hillary winning and Bill becoming a First Spouse ?

 

Why not then simply make it the "Presidential Spouse" series to cover this contingency.

 

Can somebody please explain the "First Spouse" definition for this set ?

 

Cheers,

 

Rich

Hello, RichH.

 

The US Mint calls it First Spouse and we try to use the official terminology when describing coins:
