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

is only for a day, so I'll miss the '33 double eagle. Perhaps
our paths will cross another time. -Editor]- 2002-11-17
