<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 341116, member: 4626&quot;]Er minor correction, there&#039;s 13 known (the Smithsonian has 2 in its collection.)</p><p><br /></p><p>No way of knowing how many more are actually out there, but so far only one has been confirmed legal to privately own and that&#039;s highly unlikely to change.&nbsp; You are correct though if the other 10 are declared legal to own, they&#039;d very likely sell for less than the $7.5 million.&nbsp; If the government ever sets a precedent that any other 1933 double eagles that might be yet undiscovered are legal I&#039;d imagine the value would drop significantly, but only after more were discovered.&nbsp; If just the 10 disputed ones are ever declared legal I don&#039;t think the owner would have much trouble getting about $1 million a piece for them, should he choose to sell.&nbsp; The reason the 1933 double eagle auctioned so high is because it&#039;s essentially unique... as long as it&#039;s the only one that&#039;s legal to own it doesn&#039;t matter if a thousand more are found.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
