Rare gold coins tied to decades of recovery and litigation will appear together Aug. 28For the first time, the United States Mint will display all 11 of its 1933 $20 Double Eagles together on Aug. 28 at the American Numismatic Association World’s Fair of Money in Pittsburgh. The historic exhibit will unite 10 coins at the center of a decades-long ownership battle with an 11th example later surrendered by a private collector. Coins That Never Reached CirculationThe Philadelphia Mint produced 445,500 Double Eagles dated 1933, but the $20 gold pieces were never released into circulation. The Mint formally monetized that coin before its 2002 auction, making it the only 1933 Double Eagle that may be privately owned. Government Wins Ownership CaseTen more 1933 Double Eagles emerged in 2004 after they were found by Switt’s family and submitted to the government for authentication.
