2012-W $10 Alice Paul First Strike, DCAM PR70DCAM 认证号45061571, PCGS号512931

[RG-068]* 2012-W Gold Eagle (Alice Paul) { FIRST STRIKE } PR70DCAM { PCGS-5 }. Mintage: 3,505. Alice Paul was a suffragette who fought for her cause in the UK and USA. She is included among the series honoring "First Spouses" because Chester Arthur's wife died before he took office and Alice was born during the term served by him. She was instrumental in fighting to bring women the vote on two continents. I'd say she earned a place on the list of top-100 women on coins with a nod-nod, wink-wink inclusion in the First Spouse series. Tough to find a pristine proof specimen with Top-Pop grading; although many were available online with unsightly oxidation in the fields. After much looking, this was an NGC crossover. * Number 68 in Ron Guth's book "100 Greatest Women in Coins".

The Alice Paul Spouse Coin is the first coin issued in 2012 representing the Spouse Coin Series. Interestingly, Alice Paul is also the first non-Spouse design to be issued in the Spouse coin Program.

Since Chester Arthur was single during his 1881 to 1885 Presidential term, the Mint chose the Alice Paul design. Alice Paul played a significant role in the suffrage movement which helped give women the right to vote. She was born in January 15, 1885 during the Presidency of Chester Arthur, therefore, the Mint chose her design to be featured on the Chester Arthur Presidential Spouse coin.
