    1933 DOUBLE EAGLE ON DISPLAY IN NEW YORK

    From an American Numismatic Society press release:
    "Beginning November 20, 2002 the 1933 Double Eagle,
    The World's Most Valuable Coin, will be on view at the
    Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

    The only existing 1933 Double Eagle twenty dollar gold
    coin to be made legal tender will be on long-term loan
    beginning November 20, to the American Numismatic
    Society's Exhibit, "Drachmas, Doubloons and Dollars:
    The History of Money," at the Federal Reserve Bank
    of New York, 33 Liberty Street.

    The exhibition highlights the significance of money as political
    propaganda, artwork, and a reflection of social climate and
    economy. In addition to the 1933 Double Eagle, four of the
    Society's most valuable coins are also on exhibit; the Brasher
    doubloon, the 1804 dollar, a Confederate States half-dollar
    and the famous ultra high relief 20-dollar gold piece designed
    by Augustus Saint-Gaudens.

    Exhibition hours are 10:00am to 4:00pm Monday through
    Friday. For further information call the ANS at
    212-234-3130."

    [I'll be in New York tomorrow on business, but alas, this trip
    is only for a day, so I'll miss the '33 double eagle. Perhaps
    our paths will cross another time. -Editor]
