What is the world's most valuable coin?
[Edit]

Answer

The 1933 Double Eagle.

This coin was minted in 1933 but never issued because President Franklin D. Roosevelt took the country off the gold standard. A single example escaped destruction when it made its way into the collection of King Farouk of Egypt, was withdrawn from an auction of his possessions in 1954, and went underground for 40 years until it was seized from an English coin dealer in 1996. It was sold by the United States Government in an auction at Sotheby's New York on July 30, 2002, where it brought the record sum of $7,590,020.
