coin dealer

It really is fascinating to know that a small piece of metal could be such a great asset to most people. Take the case, for example of the 1933 Double Eagle gold coin. One of these have been sold in an auction at the incredibly staggering price of 7.5 million dollars. Around 445,500 pieces of these were minted back in the day. However, all were ordered melted by President Theodore Roosevelt because of the Great Depression. Mysteriously, around 20 of these coins still exist today. Kings, secret agents, rich heirs and coin dealer have had these and thus added to its grandiose history. No wonder it’s the most expensive coin in the world.
