Sat on my laurels since 2018 to get my Nixon letter certified. Pre-certification indicates that the Nixon autograph "RN" is genuine.

The full-chain-of-ownership is US Mint to President Nixon to Congressman Stephens to me.

Next step TPG certification of the uncirculated 1971-S Eisenhower silver dollar.

    That’s really cool. It even still includes the coin mentioned in the letter. As someone that collects coins and autographs this is really neat to have both come together.

    Compare it very carefully with other coins to see if there are any differences like there were with the Cherrios Sacagaweas. If the coin has different die characteristics, PL tendencies, or anything special other than the provenance maybe you could push for a specimen designation.

    Very nice piece of history. “We like Ike” was the campaign slogan when he ran for President. Commander of the armed forces during one of the worst wars in history.

    The longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice is it possible for an empire to rise without His aid? Benjamin Franklin
