<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cringely, post: 1096470, member: 22271&quot;]Not a US Mint product. The card is from the 2002 ANA World&#039;s Fair of Money and was most likely either a giveaway or cost a few bucks. If the coin truly is .999 gold, then the value of this coin is still just bullion (or a few bucks more for the souvenir card). The certificate of authenticity does not list the title of the person who signed it. If it was a mint employee, I would expect a title of some sort. </p><p><br /></p><p>This listing is on the same par as those TV coin shows trying to sucker someone in to buying highly overpriced coins. Actually, the quality is less (the TV shows usually slab their stuff), however (if it is truly 1.5 ounces of 0.999 gold), this seller is only trying to get a 40% profit. Either way anybody who does buy this deserves the &#039;sucker&#039; title.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are looking for a copy of the 1933 Double Eagle, many companies have made duplicates, mostly of base metals with a very thin gold plating. One of the nicer ones is from Royal Oak Mint <a href="http://www.royaloakmint.com/gold.htm#1933p" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.royaloakmint.com/gold.htm#1933p" rel="nofollow">http://www.royaloakmint.com/gold.htm#1933p</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
