Personaly speaking I saw a slow worm here in Ireland years ago, they are extremely rare here, they are not a native species (they estimate they were introduced around 300 years ago)
Not rare, but in the wild: my dad and I were hiking in the deep woods of New Hampshire, and came up on a brook. There was a huge moose with a full set of antlers. We were downwind, so we stayed still and were able to watch him and get some gorgeous pictures. It is one of my cherished memories from hiking.
I have seen many rare animals at zoos and aquariums but I am guessing you meant in the wild?

That depends on where you are. We see Bald Eagles almost daily, but to some areas of the country that would be a rare sight. I once saw an armadillo, but that was in Florida where they are common. I would have to say that the rarest I have seen was a Nene that we saw when in Maui last fall.
OP, what do you mean by rare? I thought you meant endangered? Did you just mean uncommon for most people to see?
