Snippets from emails making the research find back in 2023. Additional research notes are in the POTUS Numismatic Artifact registry.
The POTUS Numismatic Artifact Registry documents coins and medals that were directly connected to U.S. Presidents through official use, gifting, or authorization, preserving them as historical artifacts rather than ordinary collectibles.
These are the nine Nixon presentation sets.
Archival confirmation of Nixon-era Eisenhower proof dollar presentation sets predates any future public exhibition or announcement. Limited public awareness reflects archival visibility, not recent discovery.
Here is one of the presentation sets.

And the imaged one is a Type 1 1971-S dollar to boot. Very cool find!

Cool 😎
Mr_Spud
The coin shown in higher resolution does not have a Type 1 reverse; it has a regular Type 2 reverse (see below). What about the 8 other coins, however? It would be most interesting to know how many, if any, of the these have the Type 1 reverse.
Edited to add a cropped photo of the obverse, which relates to my comment below:
Very interesting. Peace Roy

Something is wrong here. DrDarryl shows the same obverse (identical haze pattern) paired with a Type 2 reverse on our Forum, but a Type 1 reverse on the Ike Group Forum.

From his past posts here, I do not believe that die varieties are on DrDarryl's radar at all; he's strictly interested in the historical/political connections of the coins he studies. It is also not usually his style to respond to comments, so I would be surprised if he did so here. In any case, I sincerely would like to thank DrDarryl for telling us a bit more about his discovery, as I believe it is an important piece of a larger story. However, if he is reading this, I would urge him to be much more careful with his research data. Coin obverse and reverse photos cannot just be mixed and matched willy-nilly, and especially not with coins of such importance.
