Demand for coins was very low in 1933 due to the Great Depression. That was also the year that the US went off the gold standard. Only two denominations and mint marks were produced for general circulation that year:

1¢ - Philadelphia

50¢ - San Francisco

312,500 $10 coins were struck but most were melted. About 50 are known to have been released for circulation; to the best of any researchers' knowledge no others exist today. Recent sales have been in excess of $700,000

445,500 $20 coins were minted and none were officially released. Ten are known to have survived the melting pot and are considered to be among the rarest of US Coins, on a par with 1804 dollars and 1913 Liberty nickels. There's an ongoing legal battle over the ownership of all but one or two of these coins.
