The National Collector's Mint's Tribute to the Rarest U.S. Government $20 GOLD Double Eagle
The National Collector's Mint has issued a limited release of 1933 Gold Double Eagle Proofs-heralding America's rarest and the last $20 gold piece! $20 Gold pieces designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens were minted between 1907 and 1933. After taking the U.S. off the Gold Standard, President Roosevelt ordered the return of all gold coinage to the Treasury. So the entire legal tender mintage of 1933 $20 Gold Pieces were melted down. In early 1944, the Egyptian government applied for an export license for a 1933 $20 Gold Piece to be placed in the extensive collection of King Farouk. Before anyone realized their mistake, the application was approved and the coin, which did not exist, was in a diplomatic pouch on its way to Egypt. When a British dealer brought what is believed to be the King Farouk coin to the U.S. for sale, it was promptly seized by U.S. Treasury agents. The seizure was successfully contested and the 1933 $20 Gold Piece was sent to Fort Knox for safekeeping. You can see why this incredible coin has become the most expensive gold coin in the world-it sold at auction for 7.6 million dollars. Now, you can have your own 1933 Gold Double Eagle Proof as a 10 Mil 24K Gold-clad Proof with Saint-Gaudens' magnificently engraved Miss Liberty on one side and the majestic American Eagle on the other. A great gift for collectors-each comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. Includes:
- 1 Gold Double Eagle Coin
- Certificate of Authenticity
