1933 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle 9K-Gold Proof Tribute Coin

In 1904, President Theodore Roosevelt commissioned renowned sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens to redesign the $20 gold eagle. This acclaimed design was struck (with some variations) from 1907-1932. However, with the Great Depression, newly-elected President Franklin Delano Roosevelt authorized the confiscation and meltdown of gold coins, including the newly-minted - but never officially circulated - 1933 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. In time, it was found that perhaps ten had been illegally removed, eventually recovered, and melted down, while ONLY ONE had been more-or-less legally sold to Egypt's King Farouk. It became the sole example the United States Government has ever authorized for private ownership. It was resold in 2021 for the phenomenal price of $18.9 million! Now the gleaming allure and artistic heritage of this storied coin returns in a stunning 9K-gold Proof coin tribute - The 1933 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle Gold Proof Coin, available in a limited edition of 1,933 exclusively from The Bradford Exchange Mint.
