Tian Lu Tong Bao rarest cash coin. Only 2 truly genuine pieces are known, the last being from the hoard discovered at Ba Lin City in 1981 and now it is in the Ba Lin Museum, Inner Mongolia. http://www.charm.ru/coins/tianluLIAO.shtml The Chimeron Crown, one of the rarest coins of all (rumored to be only 5 real Crowns ever issued.) A Chimeron Wench is rumored to be even more rare than the Crown. Its original value was 1/3 a rowan. It is quite possibly the rarest, most valuable coin in existence, because it seems that less than 5 were originally issued and one can expect that some get lost over time. Its collector's value is priceless. http://www.southernwastes.com/bank/metals.htm The 1933 Double Eagle, the most valuable coin in the world, is now on display at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The only coin of its kind known to be in circulation, the 1933 Double Eagle fetched the record sum of $7.59 million at auction at Sotheby's New York last July, making it the most valuable coin ever minted. http://www.lowermanhattan.info/news/world_s_most_valuable_25606.asp Nov 08 03, 10:29 AM
