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.
