![]() Several examples however are known to have gone missing and some have since appeared on the market even though they have been declared stolen from the US government and therefore illegal to own. All 1933 Double Eagle coins were ordered to be destroyed with the exception of two examples set aside for the Smithsonian Institution. Known as the coin that took the US off the Gold Standard, 1933 Double Eagles were the last American gold coins struck by the United States Mint but were never legally issued for use. A unique 20-dollar coin, it is the only one of its kind that is legally owned by a private individual. The coin is regarded as something of a ‘Holy Grail’ for American coin collectors. It was subsequently exhibited at the New-York Historical Society Museum & Library which has housed it since 2013. Making $7.59m (£4.93m) with premium, it nearly doubled the previous saleroom high for a coin at the time. The lots include the 1933 Double Eagle coin which had previously set a record for any coin when Weitzman bought it anonymously at Sotheby’s New York in July 2002.

I have seen a wide range of toning in Dansco albums, from the very ugly to the very beautiful to not much at all. It is possible they were pulled from a Wayte Raymond board and put into this Dansco - I just know those boards you link in the auction did not have those coins for 50 years. I should mention that I have no idea of the history of the Dansco I took them from. you learn something new everyday and there are no absolutes when it comes to toning. This is actually what I love about toned coins. Ive seen pretty colorful toning on Jeffs from Danscos. I have never seen that kind of toning from a Dansco album. I am surprised the ugly brown toning came from Danscos though. I do not know if they swapped any more, or if the guy I sold them to died and his estate sold them to current seller. Many of those coins in there now, came from a brown Dansco album I have with ugly toning.

The current seller is a different seller than the eBay handle I sold them to (although possibly the same person, as a couple of the pictures look like they could be a couple of mine cropped). Those are Meghrig boards that I sold early January. The auction you linked shows Jeffersons that may have toned from Wayte Raymond boards, but most of them didn't.
