The note is dated August 6, 1971 and reads: "Dear Jack: Last week I had the good fortune to receive one of the first Eisenhower silver dollars and to present one of the new coins to Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower. These coins were so impressive that I thought you would like to have an uncirculated specimen. It is one of the first strikes of these special dollar coins and, I think you will agree, is a beautiful example of our Nation's coinage. With best personal regards, Sincerely, RN in script ."<BR> Also included is an 8" x 11" color photo of Richard Nixon.
