Only 15 examples of the 1804 Bust dollar, AKA the Bowed Liberty dollar coin, are known to exist with the finest Class I pieces commanding sky-high prices. While they are dated 1804, the coins were actually struck during the 1830s or later. This specimen sold for $4.1 million in 1999, while another fetched $3.9 million at auction in 2013.

This exquisite $10 gold coin dated 1804 was actually minted in 1834 for President Andrew Jackson to offer as a diplomatic gift to officials in Asia. Today, only four examples exist, and this particular specimen sold for $5 million at auction in 2007.

The finest example out of seven known 1787 New York-Style Brasher Doubloons, this gold coin hit the headlines in January this year when it sold for a huge $9.36 million at Heritage Auctions in Texas. Discovered in 1848, this particular coin caused a storm as it has only been publicly sold twice since its first discovery, and both times reached record prices. The most recent of these record-breaking sales was in 1979 when it went for $725,000, holding the record of the world's most valuable coin for a decade. While its 2021 sale breaks its streak of records, it certainly comes close to the top spot.

The world's most valuable coin and then some, this 1794 Flowing Hair Dollar is the finest known example and was among the first dollar coins minted. Described as a "national treasure" by numismatic expert Steven Contursi, the historically important coin sold for an almost unbelievable $10 million at auction in 2013.

An extremely rare 'Double Eagle' coin sold for a record price of $18.9 million at a Sotheby's auction in June. The coin now holds the title for the most expensive ever sold, more than doubling the previous record. Remarkably, the coin's face value is just $20. The coin is so rare because the 1933 edition never actually entered circulation, and most were returned and melted down by the US government. However, around 13 coins did make it into circulation, and in 1944 the Secret Service declared that if any collectors possessed any of the coins they would be considered stolen. This coin was only able to be sold by a private collector after a legal battle between the United States Treasury and a former owner of the coin granted possession. The coin was then sold in 2002 for $7.6 million, setting a record at the time, before this sale by shoe designer Stuart Weitzman.

Steven Spielberg’s Superyacht Sold After $158 Million Listing

I had a chance to see this super yacht when it was docked in Fort Lauderdale. As you might imagine, it is huge and impressive. My understanding is that was built with some type of “stabilizer that runs the length of the ship to help maintain a “waveless”ride. Apparently Spielberg gets seasick easily!

You sure it isn't the oval that the "1000" is printed in that looks like the watermelon?

Nice car! Hate the look of the Radials.
