What is the most expensive US rare coin?

The most expensive US rare coin is the 1933 Double Eagle. It is the only known example of a $20 gold coin minted in the United States since 1933, and it is considered to be one of the most valuable coins in the world. In 2002, it was sold for $7.59 million at auction. The Double Eagle was designed by sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, and it features a high relief design of Lady Liberty on one side and an eagle on the other side. The coin was minted in 1933, but it was never released into circulation due to the Great Depression. All but one of the coins were melted down, making the 1933 Double Eagle one of the most rare and valuable coins in the world.
