The Dolley Madison Gold Coin in the Presidential First Spouse Series

Don Everhart was the sculptor and engraver for the Dolley Madison First Spouse gold coin. I think the gold coin design is an improvement over the artist rendering (previous page,) especially around Dolley's eyes. In the artist rendering, she seems to have heavy dark circles under her eyes which don't show on the actual coin. On the other hand, her confident facial expression on the rendering turns into a smirk in the coin engraving. It's interesting how minor details can totally change the viewer's perception of things.
