Richard Nixon Autograph

by Ken Eberhart
(Missouri)

Upon my mother's death, I inherited a letter that she had which was written by Richard Nixon to my father. It is dated December 8, 1972, typed on White House stationary, and I still have the original envelope with canceled postage that says it was sent airmail.

The content is two short paragraphs in thanks to my father for the letter of congratulations my dad sent to President Nixon upon his re-election to the Office in November 1972. It is typed, and then signed at the bottom in ink. I know that President Nixon often had autopens or secretaries sign documents, but this appears to be an authentic hand written signature, it is in ink and as I said before, it is on his personal Presidential stationary from the White House. I intend to get this document authenticated and to sell it. Thanks very much.

I have a letter signed by Richard Nixon that was written to me in January 1961 shortly after the election. It is on Office of the Vice President Stationary. Can anybody tell me what this is worth?

I met Richard Nixon in London after attending a play. All I had was a Pepsi can and a Sharpie. He signed my can. This happened in 1994. What's the value?

Interesting. Maybe a Pepsi collector or Nixon collector would want would want it, but I have no idea how much they would pay. I think this might be something that is worth more to you than it would be to an autograph collector.

My mother met President Nixon at a Miami Restaurant, The Hasta. He signed the back of a tent card advertising Stone Crab for $4.95. He signed "to Betty and Joey, Love Richard Nixon". Interested in the value.

by: Anonymous

Can anybody tell me what this letter from Richard Nixon might be worth? It was in response to a letter my mother sent him in 1964.

The letter is on his stationary with the address of 20 Broad Street in New York City and is dated November 13, 1964.

He states his appreciation for my mother writing him with regard to his campaign participation. It goes on to talk about his disappointment with the outcome and his hope for a tide reversal in the next two years. He assures her of his commitment to assure Republican victories in 1966.

Signed: "With every good wish, Sincerely, (His Signature)Richard Nixon".

As vice-president, Nixon's staff used autopens to answer most of his routine correspondence. Search the net for autopen examples and compare yours. Most elected officials that receive a large amount of mail use more than one autopen. You should be able to find an example of all of them on the net with a little time invested.

One thing to look out for is a shaky signature, that looks like it stops and starts.

If your letter is authentic it is worth $300 - $400. Just the autograph would be worth about $200.

by: Kathy

In 1960 at the age of 13 I wrote a letter to then Vice President Nixon wishing him a Happy Birthday on January 9th & telling him we share the same birthdate.

I received a letter from him dated January 29, 1960 where he states among other statements....

"I can assure you, however, that there was no more heartwarming aspect of that day as far as I was concerned than to receive your message of friendship and good wishes for the birth date we share."
It appears to be hand signed by him.

I am wondering if there is any dollar value of the letter if I was interested in selling it.

You're right, for routine correspondence Richard Nixon used autopens and secretaries while he was president. An authentic signed letter with this type of content would be worth $300 - $400. Before you go to the expense of having this authenticated, you should consider the odds that Nixon had the time to answer routine congratulatory letters just after his reelection. He was pretty busy around that time.

Most, if not all presidents did however authentically sign some nonofficial letters, but it would have normally been for unique circumstances.
