Did Rutherford B. Hayes ever appear on a coin?
Yes, indeed he did. I have in my collection what i believe to be a commemorative coin in his honor. On the face it shows a picture of him and says "19th president, U.S.A. Rutherford B Haynes 1877 1881. On the opposite side, or what I would perceive to be the back it says "He serves his party best who serves his country best, Brigadier General in the Civil War congressman governor of Ohio defeated Tilden for the Presidency by one electoral vote" The coin I have seems to be in rather good condition and appears gold, although I am not sure if it is indeed gold. I have recently seen one on Ebay in worse condition than mine (appears oxidized or dulled probably due to the general age of the coin) for about 12 dollars. No idea what the coin is worth but I will check soon at my local coin collector store and report back with what I find. Hope this helps and I would be interested in hearing about your coin, Unfortunately I have seen a thread online and found that it may have come in a cracker jack box, although I am not positive. Certainly hope this is not the case because the coin is such a cool one and its a nice addition to my collection.

Which President was nicknamed His Fraudulency?
Rutherford B. Hayes was nicknamed "His Fraudulency" and "Rutherfraud" B. Hayes due to the highly contested -- and some think stolen -- presidential election of 1876.
Hayes, a Republican, ran against Samuel J. Tilden, the Democratic candidate. Tilden received more popular votes than Hayes, but the ballot count was disputed (similar to the 2000 election ended by the Supreme Court in Bush v. Gore).
In the Compromise of 1877, Congress chose Rutherford B. Hayes to be President on the promise that he could bring an end to Reconstruction in the South. The Democrats were outraged, but powerless to change the outcome.
Many historians believe the Hayes presidency struck a blow against civil rights, and ultimately lead to racial segregation during the Jim Crow era.
