PLAYBOY ARTICLE ON 1933 DOUBLE EAGLE

At a local coin club meeting this week, Chick Ambrass
noted that there was also a good article on the 1933
Double Eagle in Playboy magazine, giving all of us a
legitimate reason to keep some cheesecake in our numismatic
libraries. Coincidentally, a page-one article about the coins
in the current Coin World (September 5th issue) mentions
the Playboy article:

"Freelance writer Bryan Christy, who wrote an article in
the April 2004 issue of Playboy, filed several Freedom of
Information Act requests in 2004 and 2005 seeking any
information the Mint may have had concerning their
knowledge of other 1933 double eagles, including the 10
whose existence was announced by the Mint Aug. 11."

Christy has a web site, where he writes: "Because it is recently
back in the news I have added a number of pages concerning
the 1933 double eagle. "

Here is Christy's home page: bryanchristy.com
