History

In 1933, amidst the Great Depression and the ongoing economic crisis, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued an executive order prohibiting the hoarding of gold. As a result, the production of gold coins, including the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle, was temporarily halted. Nearly all of the 1933 double eagles were ordered to be melted down, except for a few that were saved for numismatic purposes.
