One of the rarest and most valuable American coins, the 1933 double eagle (one just sold for $19 million), is from the same year.,(reply>), Americans paid what? HAHAHAHA!,(reply>), @MadRish that's where you gotta double down,(reply>), @This Guy Even better,(reply>), @James Bond There could have been a difference. US cars, for example, come out the year before their model designation (e.g. a 1958 car comes out in 1957). A UK car with a model year is usually part way through the same year due to historic August registrations and current March and September ones. To those that do not have knowledge of the minting process, coins could have been the same.,(reply>), Thank you for telling me that the 1933 penny and the 1933 double eagle were both from the same year. I wouldn't have been able to figure it out otherwise.
