This brings us to the point of this blog. They say that history repeats, and so it is not surprising that another low mintage Mint State commemorative gold coin is still being overlooked. The 2011-W First Spouse Eliza Johnson $10 Half Ounce Gold Coin had minuscule mintages in both Proof and Mint State—3,907 and 2,905 respectively. And yet the rarer Mint State coins are currently priced slightly under the Proofs! It’s probably a good idea to add a Mint State example, or both of these tiny mintages to your collection or investment portfolio. And keep your eyes open for other underpriced coins, whether they are Proofs or Mint State.
