Info:
On July 30, 2002, history was made at a Sotheby’s auction in New York City. A single gold coin, the infamous 1933 Double Eagle, was sold for $7,590,020. Not only did this make the 1933 Double Eagle the most valuable coin in the world (by nearly double), it also made it one of the five most expensive objects ever wrought in America and sold at auction. In ILLEGAL TENDER: Gold, Greed, and the Mystery of the Lost 1933 Double Eagle, leading authority on fine arts and former head of Sotheby’s coin department David Tripp recreates the astonishing history of this notorious artifact as it travels from the deathbed of a famous artist, across the ocean and into the vast, legendary collection of a sybaritic Egyptian king, to a vault in the World Trade Center, to its own pre-auction national tour
