The 1933 St. Gaudens $20 coin is one of the rarest coins in the world. One was sold at an auction for 7 million dollars. It is so rare because they were all recalled at the beginning of the Great Depression to be melted for other purposes, and only a dozen were smuggled or never made it back to the mint.
