The obverse of the 2013-W 1/2 oz First Spouse Edith Wilson Gold Coin showcases a portrait of the First Lady. She was a trusted advisor to President Wilson and frequently traveled with him during World War I. She also implemented wartime conservation efforts at the White House, including meatless Mondays, wheatless Wednesdays, and maintaining a flock of sheep on the White House lawn.

On the reverse of 2013-W US Mint First Spouse Edith Wilson Gold Coins, the design features Edith Wilson’s hand resting on President Wilson’s as it lays on a cane. After he suffered a severe stroke in 1919, she became his primary caregiver and played a crucial role in managing his presidential duties. Often called the Secret President, she determined which matters required his direct attention and which could be handled by others.

The marriage between President Wilson and First Lady Edith Wilson often garnered unfair attention in the press for the short period between the passing of his first wife, Ellen Wilson, and his marriage to Edith. However, she persevered in the face of this criticism and proved a stable hand in the White House during her time as First Lady. After President Wilson’s term, the First Lady remained a fierce protector of her husband’s legacy, defending his policies and her role in the White House until her death in 1961. At the time of her death, she was the longest-living First Lady.

These 2013-W 1/2 oz US Mint First Spouse Edith Wilson Gold Coins are available here in perfect condition. A Mint State 70 grade indicates a coin with no visible surface flaws and full mint luster. These coins also come with a hand-signed label bearing the signature of David Hall, co-founder of the Professional Coin Grading Service.
