Description
The 1933 St. Gaudens Double Eagle is a Gold Double Eagle from the Philadelphia Mint, belonging to the St. Gaudens Double Eagles 1907-1933 series. The Philadelphia Mint struck 445,500 double eagles dated 1933. The obverse features Liberty striding forward holding a torch and olive branch, with rays of sunlight behind her, and the reverse displays a flying eagle with the rising sun behind it. None of the 1933 double eagles was issued: two went to the Smithsonian, nearly all the rest were melted, and only one example may legally be owned privately. Struck in 90% gold, 10% copper, weighing 33.44 grams, 34 mm in diameter, with a lettered edge. Cataloged as PCGS #9195.
