The 1933 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle is perhaps the most famous and valuable U.S. coin. Initially struck but never circulated due to the gold recall of 1933, it features a stunning design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens.
Often considered the first silver dollar minted by the United States, the 1794 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar holds immense historical significance. Only around 1,758 were struck, and fewer survive today.
Known as the “King of American Coins,” the 1804 Draped Bust Silver Dollar was actually struck in the 1830s for diplomatic gifts. There are only 15 known examples, divided into Class I, II, and III, with Class I being the most sought after.
The 1913 Liberty Head Nickel is shrouded in mystery, with only five specimens known to exist. Produced clandestinely at the Philadelphia Mint, these coins were never officially released.
The 1804 Eagle ($10 gold piece) is an exceptionally rare coin, with only four known specimens, all belonging to the “Plain 4” variety.
The 1870-S Three Dollar Gold Piece is unique, with just one known example. It was struck to be included in a cornerstone of the new San Francisco Mint building, making it a one-of-a-kind piece.
The remaining examples are held by the Smithsonian Institution, making any chance to acquire this coin a monumental event. It last sold for over $8 million.
The 1877 Half Union Gold Pattern is a proposed $50 gold coin that never saw official production. Only two examples exist, both residing in private collections.
