A Utah woman who tried paying for Walmart groceries with $20 Gold Double Eagles was apparently turned away, and then exchanged 14 of them at a nearby bank for face value.
The bank teller gave the woman $280 but the coins were worth far more. While the coins have not been appraised, at today’s gold prices, each would be worth at least $920.
Now the search is on for the woman because she could be getting a lot more money, not to mention that the numismatic value of Double Eagles exceeds their melt value.
