1870-S Half Dime and 1870-S $3 Gold Piece are Unique .
The 1873-CC No Arrows dime is also unique. Any other unique US coins that we missed?

It depends. Should we include all of the rarities found in parking lots that are posted?

Can't think of any more, unless you include the 1794 Silver Dollar auctioning in Vegas in the fall, unique for its silver plug. Also isn't there a unique 1866 No Motto proof half dollar and / or quarter?
Of course, there are instances in which only one coin is possible or likely to be owned, even though more than one exists. The 1933 $20 gold double eagle that sold for $7.5 million back in 2002, and the 1822 $5 gold half eagle come to mind.

Let’s not forget Mitch has the unique 1976 $1 NO S TYPE 2 - SILVER PR66. It is the rarest modern, and also maybe the most valuable. I think it would take more the seven figures for the coin to change hands.

How about the 1794 dollar that's going up for auction soon. They say $10,000,000+

We know of the proofs, but is there anyway to truly prove the business strikes were all melted?

There are a number of coins of which only one is known. Here is the only known 1849 $20 gold piece. If it were ever to come to market, which it won't because the Smithsoniann Institute in Washington, DC has it, it might well set a record price. Here are photos.
As you can see, it's not perfect. It has some marks. The story is there was another that was known in the 1890s, but no one has said they have seen it in over 100 years. There is also supposed to have been one that was made of gold covered copper (gilt), but that one is also now unknown to collectors.

Ok I admit I proof only issues when there are circulation strikes available peak in value at 200 to 400k. Not sure if that applies to the recent ike one known proof, but certainly makes them less value perceived compared to unique us issues.

For me it would be a well circulated worn yet problem free (edited to add: thus PCGS gradeable!) 1970-D Kennedy half!

1870-s seated quarter. Supposedly "some" were struck and placed into the cornerstone of the SF mint. Written evidence suggests this. But, 0 currently known.

The unique 1849 $20 would easily fetch $20-$25 Million at auction.

"I have always felt that the single most valuable United States coin was the unique J-1776 MCMVII Indian Head pattern double eagle. My gut feeling was that this coin was worth around $15 million. Now, I think it might be worth $20 million or even more. "

The 1982D large date zinc parking lot find Lincoln penny in ms67+. It's a tough one.

I agree with @BillJones regarding the 1849 Double Eagle.
Would love to see what it would fetch, if offered to the public.
Alas, that will never happen, as it is hidden in the Smithsonian's Vault.
I grade it a 63.

opinion. fixed.
btw,IF the 1849 $20 was available for purchase and IF I had won the Powerball jackpot for a few hundred million, I would have no problem paying $20-$25 Million for it. I would consider it a bargain at that price.That is a fact.
