1933 DOUBLE EAGLE ON DISPLAY IN NEW YORK

  From an American Numismatic Society press release:
  "Beginning November 20, 2002 the 1933 Double Eagle,
  The World's Most Valuable Coin, will be on view at the
  Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

  The only existing 1933 Double Eagle twenty dollar gold
  coin to be made legal tender will be on long-term loan
  beginning November 20, to the American Numismatic
  Society's Exhibit, "Drachmas, Doubloons and Dollars:
  The History of Money," at the Federal Reserve Bank
  of New York, 33 Liberty Street.

  The exhibition highlights the significance of money as political
  propaganda, artwork, and a reflection of social climate and
  economy.  In addition to the 1933 Double Eagle, four of the
  Society's most valuable coins are also on exhibit; the Brasher
  doubloon, the 1804 dollar, a Confederate States half-dollar
  and the famous ultra high relief 20-dollar gold piece designed
  by Augustus Saint-Gaudens.

  Exhibition hours are 10:00am to 4:00pm Monday through
  Friday. For further information call the ANS at
  212-234-3130."

  [I'll be in New York tomorrow on business, but alas, this trip
  is only for a day, so I'll miss the '33 double eagle.  Perhaps
  our paths will cross another time.  -Editor]
