Double Eagle

Talks about a coin's history and aims to illuminate the world of coin collecting, where the desire to possess often borders on madness. Stolen from the US Mint during the Great Depression, the coin was shipped by diplomatic pouch to Egypt, hidden for 40 years, seized in a sting at the Waldorf-Astoria and then sold in a record-setting auction.
