Has anyone seen this in the bookstores? It's on my Christmas wishlist, so hopefully come Dec. 25 I can post a review of it soon after.
Basically, the books follows the 1933 Double Eagle gold coin that became illegal to own once the Depression hit. It was thought all the coins were confiscated and melted down. But one escaped. And this book traces its history from 1933, when it was presumed melted, to the 2002 auction where it was bought by a private collector.
A more in depth description can be found here:
