1933 $20 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle Circulation strikes: 445,500 ok Bob, where are the other 445,500 - 3 = 445,497 other ones ? something smells fishie here they exist inside the usa government, these 445,497 ones but not or until the law is changed and if so then current value of the only one in private hands willllllllllllll ???? Notes: No coins of this date were ever allowed into circulation, at least not officially. A handful of 1933 Double Eagles exists today, but the Mint asserts that ownership is illegal because they were removed without authorization from the Mint. Thus, in the few instances when these have appeared on the open market, they have been subject to seizure by the U.S. government. The only "legitimate" examples are owned or held by the government, one of which is illustrated above. However, in 2001, the U.S. government reached an agreement with the owners of the "Farouk-Fenton" specimen of the 1933 Double Eagle which allowed the coin to be sold, thus making it the only example outside of government hands that is legal to own.

Chances=good it'll only be dusty. Cool contribution of the day award 2U, Bob! Any indication as to why the Secret Service vault was being used? Authentication mayhaps? Would have thought it would be in Bower's (or similar ilk) vault prior to sale...
