The 1933 Double Eagle on view at Goldsmiths' Hall
The 1933 Double Eagle is a legend in coin collecting circles. It is possibly the most valuable ounce of gold in the world, inspiring the passions of kings, presidents, collectors, and thieves. In 2002, a 1933 Double Eagle sold for 7.6 million dollars, making it the most expensive gold coin in the world to come to auction up to that time. The actual coin going on display in London has never come to auction and is one of a handful of 1933 Double Eagles known in the world. The coin will be on exhibition for two days only - Saturday March 3 and Sunday March 4 from 10am to 4pm - Admission Free.
