“In 1933, America was in the grip of an economic depression. President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s plan to stabilize the economy included banning private ownership of gold. His Executive Order called for every 1933 Gold Double Eagle coin to be melted into bars. Ten coins escaped this fate. The Secret Service was able to locate – and confiscate – nine of the ten coins. When the missing coin surfaced at auction in 2002, it sold for an amazing 7.59 million dollars, making it the most expensive gold coin in numismatic history.
An American Mint Exclusive, the 1933 Gold Double Eagle Replica Archival Edition is a 24k gold-layered replica of the rarest and most valuable gold coin in history. Minted to the highest quality “Proof ” standard, it comes in our NumiShield Archival Case to preserve its glorious luster for future generations.”
