Ford had the luck to be president during the bicentennial. PCGS encapsulated a number of bicentennial coins with Ford's signature. If any other grading service did this, the people of this forum would be up in arms about it, but since PCGS did it, it's OK.

Saw a Brian Williams interview with President Ford. For a man of age 90, he looked and sounded
terrific.

Gerald Ford was a good man in a bad spot. He was brought in to bring respectibility to an administration that was fumbling the public opinion ball. He is highly regarded among everyone who knew him as a man of integrity who built a stellar record in the Senate.

There are worse people who could have been President, and were - like Jimmy Carter, who was the receipient of the anti-Nixon vote and became President sending the country into the toilet faster than Grey Davis has killed California. Or Bill Clinton - someone with no honor, diginity or ethics.

I have a 1986 (First Year issue) Proof 69 PCGS $50 Gold American Eagle that is beautiful. It is signed by Gerald Ford and I have a great deal of respect for him.
