Rarest United States coin draws record bid
A United States government owned twenty dollar gold piece from 1849-1850 stands as the rarest coin. A Pittsburg collector reportedly offered fifty thousand dollars for the piece, now in the Philadelphia Mint. The piece bears Liberty on the obverse and a shielded eagle on the reverse, with designer James B Longacre. Numerous private issues from the era, including California and Georgia issues, fetch high sums, with values cited up to several hundred dollars for lesser pieces and unique ingots sought by collectors.
