<p>[QUOTE="KBBPLL, post: 7662151, member: 104064"]It's a long sordid story. The coin popped up in London 40 years after disappearing from the Farouk collection after he was deposed. There was a sting operation, arrests, court case, settlement where the coin was monetized, and auction. The buyer even paid an extra $20 to the US Treasury to monetize it. There's a summary of the whole thing here <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1933_double_eagle" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1933_double_eagle" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1933_double_eagle</a>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
