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.

All PhD curriculums cover the areas of research methods and independent research.

I may not have a PhD in Numismatics (my PhD is in the field of systems engineering and I work in the defense industry). In 2013, I applied PhD research methods and independent research experience to my childhood hobby of coin collecting.

In 2025, I started to use a generative AI tool and developed the POTUS Numismatic Artifact (PNA) registry. The PNA registry is currently private. On the previous thread, I shared snapshots of two offering documents of selected PNA specimens for acquisition by museums, institutions, and academia.

Today, I posed a question to the generative AI tool (which is trained to use the PNA registry as primary source material of my research, findings, and working notes). Here is the conversation.

Those seeking a PhD in Numismatics should understand the following Tiers.
