Sir Sisu Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Or just a great marketing event. I went to see this coin (and some other US gold coins) at the Finnish National Museum today. It's here for only three days before moving on. http://www.doubleeagle.fi/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Sisu Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 How did they put the coin into context? The coin itself was put primarily into its own historical context. Samlerhuset (the company that now owns the mint of Finland) sponsored this tour (of course in cooperation with the Smithsonian) to increase the publicity of coin collecting and such - a subtle marketing. ;-) It seems that Samlerhuset has done similar tours in the past.
