Description

The Presidential Nixon $1 coins in these capsules have circulating finishes, but have never been placed into circulation. They were minted at the U.S. Mint at Philadelphia and Denver (one coin each). These coins’ designs display large, dramatic artwork and edge–incused inscriptions of the year, “E PLURIBUS UNUM” and the mint mark. Each coin features a likeness of Nixon on the obverse (heads) and has a reverse (tails) design featuring a striking rendition of the Statue of Liberty.

The design inscriptions on the obverse of the 2016 Richard M. Nixon Presidential $1 Coin are:

• “RICHARD M. NIXON”

• “IN GOD WE TRUST”

• “37th PRESIDENT”

• “1969–1974”

Richard Milhous Nixon was born January 9, 1913, in Yorba Linda, California, and raised in nearby Whittier. He attended Whittier College and Duke University Law School and then went on to practice law. During World War II, he served as a lieutenant commander in the U.S. Navy.

Once the war ended, Nixon successfully ran for Congress in 1946, where he gained national attention for his role in the investigation of charges against former State Department official Alger Hiss. In 1950, he won a seat in the U.S. Senate, serving until 1952, when he was elected vice president.

Nixon campaigned for the presidency in 1960 but lost by less than 120,000 votes, or 0.2 percent of the popular vote. A subsequent offer for governor in 1962 also ended in defeat. In 1968 Nixon campaigned for president again and won. He served until 1974 when he resigned to avoid impeachment for his role in the Watergate scandal. He is the only president to resign the office.

Highlights of Nixon’s presidency include:

• Signing of the Paris Peace Accords, ending U.S. military involvement in Vietnam

• Improving international relations with China and the U.S.S.R.

• Ending the military draft.

• Creating the Environmental Protection Agency

Packaging:

Each coin comes in a crystal clear archival quality coin capsule. The edge lettering may be read through the sides of the capsules.

Photos: When a listing offers multiples of the same coin, one coin is picked at random and photographed. Since all coins offered in that listing are essentially identical, the coin photographed is representative of all coins offered.

Surface areas that appear black on some proof coin photos are actually highly polished, mirror-bright metal reflecting the color of the camera. We often include proof coin photos with the coin slightly tilted to better depict the mirror bright surfaces. However, tilting the coin mayresult inone side beingslightlyout of focus.
