The 1933 double eagle gold coin was recognized as one of the rare and most beautiful coins in the United States, with a face value of $ 20 and the last batch of gold coins created for the US government. These gold coins should not have entered the field of circulation and directly melt into gold bars. This is exactly the reason why the U.S. government demands to recover these gold coins. In May 1933, when 445,500 double eagle gold coins were manufactured, they were catching up with the Great Depression of the US economy. As a result, the US government announced gold nationalization, and President Roosevelt asked the people to pay the gold in their hands. These unsatisfactory gold coins are melted, and most gold coins are melted into gold bars. Some gold coins escaped the melting doom before sending it to the Pennsylvana Mint. So far, no one can say how these gold coins have become the fish of the net, and how many gold coins are finally spared. According to the archives responsible for protecting the national currency, the Pennsylvania jewelery dealer Isreel Switt (his father of Joan Lamborgh) sold a 1933 double eagle gold coin to the coin dealer Essence The currency merchant quickly turned to the King of Egypt at a price of $ 1575. In the 1940s, the U.S. government intelligence staff arrested Swate, and Switt stated that "I don't know when these gold coins are, where, or what kind of channels through", but Mint staff ". At that time, the Central Love Bureau wanted to sue Isrell Swick. At this time, the US Central Love Bureau realized that some double eagle gold coins had been stolen from the mint, and they launched a 70 -year tracking investigation. The scope of survey spans the three continents, including some of the world's most famous coin collectors, protected complaints, and King Huahua, a trap located at the Waldorf Hotel in Manhattan. These stories have become the source of creation of two novels, two documentary literary works and a TV documentary. In 1952, the King of Egypt Faruk was overturned by the coup. His coin collection was auctioned with a total of 8,500 coins, including the 1933 double eagle gold coins. When U.S. financial officials saw the auction directory, they asked the Egyptians to withdraw gold coins from the auction and return it to the US government. The double eagle gold coin with the number 185 was withdrawn from the auction, and then disappeared. Forty years later, Stephen Fantun, chairman of the British Coin Trading Association, claimed that he had obtained the 1933 double eagle gold coin through the Egyptian jewelry dealer who had a relationship with the Egyptian military. An American jewelry dealer said he was interested in buying. As a result, the buyer was originally a liner of the American CIA. Fanton was arrested on the spot. Then Fanton was charged with "illegally occupying and trying to sell the US government's property". Five years later, Fanton and the US Department of Justice reached an unusual agreement: gold coins could continue to be auctioned. In February 2002, the gold coin was bought by an anonymous buyer at $ 6.6 million. Coupled with 15%commission, the final payment amount was $ 7.59 million, which increased the value of the most expensive coin record in the world before. The buyer is an American, but he did not take the double eagle gold coin home, but borrowed the gold coin to the U.S. Coin Collection Association. Since then, this double eagle gold coin has been displayed in the Federal Reserve's New York Branch hall.
