Topping the list is a rare Roman coin of which only 3 are known to exist. Called the "Eid Mar" coin for the EID MAR phrase that's stamped into the reverse, the legendary Roman figure, Brutus, had these coins minted in 42 B.C.E. to commemorate Julius Caesar's murder. EID MAR referring to, of course, the Ides of March.

In 2020, one ancient gold coin sold for $4.2 million dollars. But, as if the historic find couldn't get any more newsworthy, in the intervening years it was discovered to be looted, and has since been repatriated to Greece, where it belongs.

1937 Edward VIII Proof 5 Pound: $2.25 million
Edward VIII gold Proof Pattern 5 Pounds 1937
One of the most valuable 20th century 5 pound coins to ever be minted was the 1937 Edward VIII gold proof. Proof coins are the most exquisite mintages, with extremely high relief designs. Given that Edward VIII was only king for a little over 10 months, abdicating in 1936 to marry divorcee Wallis Simpson, the small batch of coins honoring his ascension were never circulated.

Though it's hard to know for sure, research shows that there are probably fewer than 10 examples of this coin in existence. One recently sold in 2021 for a whopping $2,280,000.

1839 Victoria Proof 5 Pound: $690,000

Similar in design to the Edward VIII 5 pound, the 1839 Victoria gold Proof 5 pound coin is extremely valuable in its own right. Colloquially known as "Una and the Lion," there are only 400 of these minted coins known today. In 2020, one of these rare coins sold through Heritage Auctions for an impressive $690,000.

1936 Canadian Dot Cent: $402,500

One of the most valuable Canadian coins to sell at auction is the 1936 George V Cent, aka the "Dot Cent." Unlike the date attests, the penny was actually minted in 1937. You can identify this uncirculated coin by the noticeable dot located just under the date. One of only three fine examples sold in 2010 for $402,500.

Only seven are confirmed to exist, with one being stolen in 1970. In 2016, one came to auction and sold for $193,875.
