I don't think that is true.
The record price for US Coins was only at $10m until 2021 when the 1933 $20 sold for $18,872,250.
PCGS Auction Prices Realized shows the auction record for bust halves is $763,750, for an 1838-O.

I suppose it is possible a private transaction might have occurred for $18m, but it's extremely unlikely.
In theory, not in reality.
I stand corrected… I had an inaccurate source for that info.
Never noticed how bad the 33 knee looks
Yeah. Looks like she had surgery on it.
And this is a coin the mint sent to a KING?

Her toes look like she stubbed them on the corner of the bed going to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
It looks like the $182,125.00 coin was an 1815/2 MS-66+ that sold at Heritage in August 2012.

It's a very nice one.
Lemme guess - was your source ChatGPT?
That is the one indeed that’s not mine
It was not ChatGPT but might as well have been!
Rarity points.
Sure would like to have a 1933 Saint... even with dings...
