Here is my . This coin is unique in private hands. The coin is pedigreed to King Farouk.

This coin is #1 in my set .

Joshua McMorrow-Hernandez:

The U.S. Mint had produced 445,500 double eagles in 1933, which were to be distributed into circulation. However, in one of his first acts, Roosevelt declared an effective end to the nation’s adherence to the gold standard and began the recall of all U.S. gold coins. According to the Mint’s records, the entire mintage of 1933 Double Eagles were to be melted except for two that were sent to the Smithsonian.

In 1937, a number appeared for sale. However, a Secret Service investigation determined that they had been stolen from the Mint and were seized from their owners. One was purchased by King Farouk and it became part of his fabulous collection, leaving that 1933 Double Eagle beyond the legal arm of the United States. Sociopolitical turmoil in Egypt led to King Farouk’s abdication. He was exiled to Italy and many of his possessions, including his 1933 Double Eagle, were dispersed. The whereabouts of the coin were unknown for decades until British coin dealer Stephon Fenton surrendered the coin to United States authorities in 1996.

Hanging in legal limbo for several years, the coin was stored in a Secret Service vault at the World Trade Center in New York City. The legal status of the 1933 Double Eagle specimen hailing from King Farouk was resolved and the coin was subsequently removed from the World Trade Center just before the terrorist attacks destroyed the Lower Manhattan landmark. The 1933 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle was offered for sale by Sotheby’s/Stack’s in 2002, realizing $7.59 million to set what was then the world record for the highest price ever paid for a single coin in a public offering.

Upon crossing the auction block nearly two decades later in 2021, the specimen remained the only legally obtainable example of the 1933 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle in private hands.

Be warned of a confused cashier and store managers that might call the cops on you. I think it would be entertaining.

That's a fun idea! As far as I can guess, I would assume you can. We haven't switched currency (e.g. Franc to Euro) so just because the design, or in your specific question denomination, isn't produced anymore shouldn't mean you can't spend it. Some of the older, high-denomination banknotes in the other hand have been demonetized and banks are supposed to destroy them. I think coins are okay, though. Let me know if you end up doing this; I'd be curious how it turns out!

The luster looks weak on this coin - although some collectors will enjoy this white/flat look. But I suspect that's why it was graded 62. It's technically nicer though - and I wonder if it sold for 62 money or premium money.

63 to me... wear on cheek. Maybe 64 if you get a good grader. PS: Remember! grading is subjective. If you see a coin undergraded at a show, nothing stops you back from getting it even if a "professional" 3PG graded it.

There is a pretty good hit on the cheek, but would still think at least a 64, perhaps the luster is not there, that is sometimes hard to pick up in 1 picture. As a 62 would be a great buy. I would love to have a collection of 62's that looked like this.

Unfortunately, there is no way that I know of to get a date off of it, although others may chime in. If it's truly worn away, even glancing it with a flashlight won't help.

Also, taking a look at the PCGS Price Guide, a G-4 Type 2a SLQ from San Francisco definitely wouldn't be worth $70, especially since it wouldn't actually grade a G-4 without the date showing. Dateless SLQs generally trade for melt., which is currently $6 at $33.58/oz.

Wish I had better news,

  Lemonjuiceman It might be worth a little bit to someone who is collecting San Francisco coinage, but not much to an SLQ collector, who would want a clear date regardless of mintmark.

  Lemonjuiceman Most likely, no. Like YN_Evan2010 said, someone looking for SLQs isn't going to pay much if any premium if it's dateless. The only real premium might be because it's an earlier type, and as you originally said, they go for a bit more (with a date, of course) than the later ones. There are some tougher S-dates that are worth more, even in G-4, but there's no way to know for sure what date it is, so that doesn't really have an impact.

It has almost unbroken mint luster and very few contact marks. Also I don't see any signs of wear.
