<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 1264060, member: 19423&quot;]I haven&#039;t been to the Smithsonian in almost 20 years, but the last time I was there I remember seeing the coin display and thinking it was really cool.&nbsp; At that time they had the major rarities on display like the 1933 Double Eagle, the 1849 Double Eagle and one of the 1913 Liberty Nickels.&nbsp; But, I also remember a glass room that had tons of proof gold in various denominations and I&#039;m pretty sure they had at least one example from each year.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think that display is there anymore though.</p><p><br /></p><p>The collection at the Smithsonian is pretty substantial, it&#039;s really unfortunate that only a very small portion of the collection is on display to the public.&nbsp; They have so many cool rarities and one of a kind pattern coins that are just sitting in the dark and stored in filing cabinets that only get to be seen by researchers or people with connections.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
