1933 Gold Double Eagle Proof |
|
The
National Mint has issued a limited release of
1933 Gold Double Eagle Proofs-heralding the last $20 gold
piece ever minted!
WASHINGTON, D.C.
Corp. ID Center, Tuesday, 8:55 AM — Today history is being
made! National Mint announces the limited release
of 1933 Gold Double Eagle Proofs heralding America’s rarest
$20 Gold Piece, which is the only legal tender coin surviving
from the 445,500 mintage of 1933. These were the LAST $20 GOLD
PIECES EVER MINTED!
When President
Roosevelt ordered the return of all gold coinage to the
Treasury, the entire legal tender mintage of 1933 $20 Gold
Pieces was supposedly melted
down.
Then 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. The application was mistakenly approved and the
"coin which didn't exist" was sent to
Egypt.
Fifty years later it
was brought to the U.S. for sale and promptly seized by U.S.
Treasury agents. The 1933 $20 Gold Piece was put away for safe
keeping in the Treasury's vaults in THE WORLD TRADE CENTER!
Luckily, it was moved to Fort Knox before the terrorist
attacks of September 11th.
You can see why
this incredible coin became the most expensive coin in the
world at an auction in New York City when it sold for a
record 7.6 million dollars!
Now, you can buy your own 1933 Gold Double Eagle
Proof. It's the rarest U.S. Gov't $20 Gold Piece as a
10 Mil Pure Gold Proof with Saint-Gauden's magnificently
engraved Miss Liberty in frosted relief on a mirror-like
background on the obverse. The majestic American Eagle in
flight in frosted relief on a mirror-like background on the
reverse, and the magic 1933 date over the engraver's initials.
| SPECIFICATIONS |
Each 1933 Gold Double Eagle Proof
comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and is individually
numbered. Distribution will take place in registration number order.
So, the earliest
reservations receive the lowest registration numbers.
