Double Eagle 20 Dollar gold coin
unfortunately the National Museum of American History
two American Double Eagles from 1933 where not on display but this 1926 where.p
On July 30, 2002,  a 1933 Double Eagle was sold to an anonymous bidder at a Sotheby's auction held in New York for $6.6 million, plus a 15-percent buyer's premium,
and an additional $20 needed to “monetize” the face value of the coin so it would become legal currency, bringing the final sale price to $7,590,020.00la
When the coin was seized, it was transferred to a holding place believed to be safe: the Treasury vaults of the World Trade Center. When the court settlement was reached in July 2001,
only three months before the Trade Center was destroyed, the coin was transferred to Fort Knox for safekeeping.
