The headline says it all: “The World’s Most Valuable Coin Sells at Auction for $18.9 Million.” That coin was the 1933 Double Eagle, a $20 gold coin that shouldn’t exist. In 1933, as part of his effort to bolster the economy during the Great Depression by getting America off of the gold standard, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt ordered the melting down of all 445,500 of the 1933 Double Eagles, which had been struck but never issued. A handful of these rare coins escaped; only one is known to exist in private ownership today, making it one of the world’s rarest coins. That incredible story is what inspired this pendant. Forged with a yellow gold finish, our Double Eagle Pendant features a replica of the world’s most valuable coin. Crafted with a vintage look and three rounds of DiamondAura®, the Ultimate Diamond Alternative®, this pendant is sure to turn heads every time it’s worn.
