The 1933 Double Eagle: A Coin of Crime and Legend

In 1933, amid the Great Depression, the US Mint produced over 445,000 $20 Saint Gaudens Double Eagles, only for them to be ordered destroyed under President Roosevelt’s Executive Order 6102. However, several coins mysteriously survived this destruction, slipping into the hands of collectors through Israel Switt, a Philadelphia jeweler. These coins became illegal to own, sparking intrigue and legal battles over the years. While the government seized many, one coin sold for a record $18.9 million, highlighting a saga of gold, crime, and history. This compelling narrative explores how these coins lived on, stirring curiosity and controversy alike. 🔍 Follow The Coinspiracy Podcast, download the episode, and find us on Whatnot at @agirlwholovescoins to keep the conversation going.

The Racketeer Nickel - Fact or Fiction

The story most collectors know centers on Josh Tatum, a silent trickster who supposedly gold-plated nickels, passed them as five-dollar gold pieces, and walked free from court without ever saying a word. But that’s not where the documented history leads. In this episode of The Coinspiracy Podcast, we move beyond legend and into the record. From San Francisco’s red-light district to a federal courtroom, the real story follows Charles Ferguson, the U.S. Secret Service, and a conviction that proves the Racketeer Nickel was not just folklore, but a very real crime repeated across the country. So how did a real criminal case fade, while a perfect story took its place? Listen as we untangle myth from fact and take a closer look at one of numismatics’ most enduring legends. 🔍 Follow The Coinspiracy Podcast, download the episode, and find us on Whatnot at @agirlwholovescoins to keep the conversation going.
