A Colorado businessman, forced to sell his collection of San Francisco Mint gold coins to save his company during adverse economic conditions after the 9/11 terrorist attack, was the lucky winner of a 1914-S Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle in a random drawing for new members of the American Numismatic Association.

Steven L. Contursi and Rare Coin Wholesalers of Dana Point, Calif., will publicly display the King of Siam proof set Oct. 5-7 at the the Atlanta Show in Georgia.

The American Numismatic Association will hold its 2006 World’s Fair of Money Aug. 16 to 19 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver.

Check these out: a Brasher doubloon struck nearly 220 years ago; 10 1933 Double Eagles; a silver dollar struck 212 years ago; and the first public unveiling of a rare gold coin owned by the Denver Mint.
