    If it has the same composition as the one shown at http://www.chiefacoins.com/Database/Countries/Fujairah.htm it's melt value of ~$8 is probably greater than it's numismatic value as NCLT of a nation lacking full sovereignty, depicting another country's disgraced ex-head of state.

    Krause says $30, but the 1969 goes for $60-$80 on ebay, I'd guess the '70 at that price or more.

    .1929 ASW, combined mintage with 1969 of 6,250.

    I would say the condition it is in would be more remarkable than the mintage. Gem proof with no toning, no fog, and no other impairments. It's getting harder and harder to find world proofs from the 1960s and 1970s that don't have some problems.

    I know what you mean. I have other world silver proofs that are in those PVC holders and they look like crap. They are only worth the silver they are minted on. I would like to find the original COA for this one. I have a 1 Riyal from the same place that is posted on another post that has evrything with it. Exept the PVC holder. I tossed that. :)

    Richard M. Nixon the president who most changed America in the second half of the 20th century. His initiatives still stand today, mainly unchanged since he foisted them off on the American people.

    A very nice tribute coin for the man who replaced Washington as father of the nation.

    Who was it that said that Nixon was was the most accomplished gifted president the nation ever had but who was also sadly lacking in morals?

    If the whole Watergate thing hadn't have happened I think Nixon would be viewed very differently by history.

    That's a pretty bold statement there.

    Same with Hitler provided you leave out WW-2 and the Holocaust. But seriously, there were a number of other things about Tricky Dick aside from Watergate that made him a pretty slippery character. The unauthorized and secret wars in Cambodia and Loas to name just two. And yet in other areas he was brilliant, the EPA and polution control in general were far and away products of the Nixon administration. Opening the door to China wa another. And the tax system was far more progressive than it is today. In a lot of ways, Nixon was to the left of Clinton, though good luck ever getting a Clinton hater to admit that.
