2012 $10 Caroline Harrison First Spouse MS70

The First Spouse coins from the U.S. Mint have a face value of $10 and contain 1/2 oz of pure 24 karat gold, making the metal value alone worth quite a bit on the bullion market. Since very few of the coins have been certified in perfect MS70 condition by NGC, demand has been rising and they could prove to be the type of "sleeper coins" that expert investors seek out.

Caroline Harrison was born in Oxford, MS and founded the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR).  Mrs. Harrison died in October of 1892 after a battle with tuberculosis which there was no cure for at the time. She was First lady of the Unites States from 1889-1892.
