I think when you get down to the nitty-gritty, there are a large

number of U.S. Presidents who aren't truly worthy of the coinage
honor, let alone their wives.

"A large number" is a gross understatement.
Other than Teddy Roosevelt, there wasn't one POTUS in the 20th century worthy of
the honor.
The 19th century had Lincoln, Jefferson, Madison and John Adams - the rest are
forgettable.
Most Presidents have been political hacks, not even worthy of being on a postage
stamp.
