Does anyone have pics of the '33 double eagle?

If so could you post them? I remember thinking at the time that it was a little weak for a 65 (I think PCGS slabbed it as 65, right?), and I'd like to have another peek at it. I can't find the pics, though.

I left mine at the office.

Negative rumors regarding the condition of the coin were recently put to rest when four experts from the Professional Coin Grading Service viewed the 1933 $20 and declared unanimously that the coin is MS65.

"PCGS is making no presumptions that the new owner of the coin will want us to certify it, although we would certainly welcome the opportunity," said Richard Montgomery, PCGS President. "We were merely answering the many inquiries from numismatists regarding its condition. Is it true that the coin has been abrasively cleaned? No. Is it true than the coin shows wear from circulation or mishandling? No. Is it true that the coin has shellac or some other lacquer-type substance on the surfaces? No. The coin is a Gem-quality specimen in every category."

Thanks...I guess it looks pretty nice

IMHO, a common-date coin with that much chatter on Liberty's leg would never have gotten the grade. But what do I know?

I wish most of my 65 Saints looked as good as that 33.

Why can't I ever catch the graders on the morning after their office drinking party?

Maybe because it's Monday?

You know, the color on that thing looks kinda funny on my monitor ... you sure it's not an off-metal striking ??

Yes, it is struck on some ungodly ugly yellow substance instead of silver which as we all know is the ONLY metal from which coins should ever be struck.

Sorry that it took me while to post this picture. I had to get this coin out of my safe deposit box to take the photo

...Just joking -- I wish that I owned one

You know what would be great?
Using the coin at the next Superbowl to determine who kicks off and who receives!
That would be style.

Why does the first photo show leg dings
and the second photo from Mr. Goldstein doesn't?
This appears to be two different coins.
Is the leg dings one the privately owned coin and the super clean one in the Smithstonian collection?
