Illegal Tender: Gold, Greed, and the Mystery of the Lost 1933 Double Eagle

It is one of America's treasures -- the most valuable ounce of gold in the world, the celebrated, the fabled, the infamous 1933 double eagle. It shouldn't even exist but it does, and its astonishing, true adventures read like "a composite of The Lord of the Rings and The Maltese Falcon" (The New York Times). Illegal to own and coveted all the more, it has been sought with passion by men of wealth and with steely persistence by the United States government for more than a half century.In 1905, at the height of the exuberant Gilded Age, President Theodore Roosevelt commissioned America's greatest sculptor, Augustus Saint- Gaudens -- as he battled in vain for his life -- to create what became America's most beautiful coin.?In 1933 the hopes of America dimmed in the darkness of the Great Depression, and gold -- the nation's lifeblood -- hemorrhaged from the financial system. As the economy teetered on the brink of total collapse, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in his first act as president, assumed wartime powers while the nation was at peace and in a "swift, staccato action" unprecedented in United States history recalled all gold and banned its private ownership.But the United States Mint continued, quite legally, to strike nearly a half million 1933 double eagles that were never issued and were deemed illegal to own. In 1937, along with countless millions of other gold coins, they were melted down into faceless gold bars and sent to Fort Knox. The government thought they had destroyed them all -- but they were wrong.A few escaped, purloined in a crime -- an inside job -- that wasn't discovered until 1944. Then, the fugitive 1933 double eagles became the focus of a relentless Secret Service investigation spearheaded by the man who had put away Al

Illegal Tender: Gold, Greed, and the Mystery of the Lost 1933 Double Eagle Reviews

Review by Paul Tognetti:

If you are a fan of novels like "Topaz" and "The Maltese Falcon" then you are bound to enjoy David Tripp's "Illegal Tender". But this is not fiction. Rather it is a true story spanning more than 70 years and starring of all things a gold coin!!!

You see when Franklin Roosevelt took the country off the gold standard immediately after his inauguration in 1933, he ordered that all gold coins in circulation be returned to the government. It was a monumental task of course but most patriotic Americans voluntarily complied. Likewise, any gold coins that had been minted and not yet circulated were also ordered to be destroyed. In early 1933, more than 445,000 double eagle coins had been struck by the U.S. Mint. Somehow, a tiny quantity of these coins managed to see the light of day. And this is what "Illegal Tender" is all about.

You'll learn how these coins managed to escape the clutches of the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia and all about the individual who was responsible. It is equally fascinating to read about those collectors who were able to obtain a rare 1933 "double eagle". For most of these folks the "double eagle" turned out to be an albatross. Be careful what you wish for!!! And as it became known that a quantity of these "illegal" coins had somehow fallen into the hands of collectors, David Tripp chronicles the Herculean efforts of the Secret Service to retreive them. Pretty compelling stuff!!!! Along the way you'll also be introduced to a number of coin dealers, lawyers and other assorted charactors who also play a role in this intriguing tale. Just what was it about these coins that was causing such a commotion?

"Illegal Tender" gets off to a fast start and I found myself hooked right away. However, I thought the story lost a bit of momentum over the final few chapters. Nevertheless this is a well written book that certainly deserves your attention. Recommended.

Review by Anthony B. Muller:

Rare coins, government fowlups, kings and presidents, big money, criminals, artists and a beautiful girl (on the coin)...all elements in this fascinating book. I am an avid reader of non-fiction and I have the collector gene, but I never expected this to be a one-night-read. Just great!

2010 Silver American Eagle - West Point Mint - Investment Grade Silver Bullion Reviews

Review by Patrick J. Greene:

The price per coin is about 3.89 above 'spot' on silver per troy ounce, this is not to out of line with other vendors. The shipping charge of .99 for each coin is. For example, order 5 coins and your shipping is just shy of . That is the gimmick they are using here on Amazon. Skip Amazon for your silver purchases.

Review by Mary Ann Myers:

The actual product was fine. I was in fact a bit disappointed as to how it was shipped. It was to be an uncirculated coin. This means no scratches on it. It was simply wrapped in a piece of paper. That isn't usually how coins are shipped.
