Mystery, gold and deception - it's all here in David Tripp's Illegal Tender. This 363-page hardcover book traces the history of the famed 1933 Saint Gaudens double eagle. Tripp follows what happened to the legendary handful of $20 gold pieces that escaped the government's recall and meltdown. He also includes the history of the highly publicized sale of the Farouk coin, which sold for over $7.5 million in 2002.
This story is especially timely in light of the government's recent "recovery" of 10 more 1933 $20 gold double eagles. The ten were voluntarily submitted to the U.S. Mint by Joan Langbord for authentication. Langbord is the daughter of Philadelphia jeweler and coin dealer Israel Switt. His dealings are mentioned in Tripp's book, and Switt even admitted selling 9 of the famous coins back in 1944. This new discovery adds even more excitement to the story! Recent winner of the Numismatic Literary Guild's Book of the Year Award for 2005, this adventure will keep you reading from the first page to the last.
