Would it bring more than melt?

Seems like all gold is a commodity now.

    Some think it's the most valuable American coin. It's no more a coin than Dann Carr's '64-D Peace Dollar , due to what the bumbling government did for the entire fiasco.

    A laughing stock of lawmen.

    The 1933 & Judd 1776 were both body bagged by PCGS.
    That's why they are raw.

    Wouldn't have either in my collection.

    As I recall. pre auction, David Hall and a small group of PCGS graders examined the 33 Saint and awarded an MS65 grade. The buyer elected to keep the coin unholdered.

    Doesn't matter. While you were in negotiation with the seller about it, he'd sell it to somebody else.

    That coin is like going to North Korea. You can buy it, but there is no guarantee it wouldn't be seized.....do you really trust Treasury on this one?

    Regardless of what you think of the government’s actions, the 1933 Saint is a genuine U.S. Mint product and thus it is more of a coin than the 64-D Peace Dollars you mentioned.

    And regardless of your view, Dan's '64-D Peace Dollar is a genuine U.S. Mint product, too. Albeit altered.... like the course of history.

    The Farouk 1933 Double Eagle is a bona-fide "coin." No it's not bullion.

    “The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.”
    “Find out who you are and do it on purpose.”
    “Don’t get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.”
    “We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.”
    “Dream more, learn more, care more, and be more.”

    Parton’s quotes often blend humor, humility, and practical wisdom, reflecting her life journey from rural Tennessee to global stardom. They remind us to embrace challenges, nurture relationships, and live with purpose and joy.

    It is a bona-fide coin. The only one. And it will never be on the BST. That's my final answer. I can still taste a little puke in my mouth about the ones stolen from the Langbords.

    On to the next judgement.

    One thing is certain. No one out there with an authentic 1933 DE is going to come forward insisting that his (or her) '33 is the real Farouk coin.
