<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 148415, member: 112&quot;]Fair enough, I just wanted to know because there are far more of them that have been made much more recently.</p><p><br /></p><p>The following is from Coin Site - </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Most brass copies are &quot;museum&quot; copies and have no specific value. These seem to be abundant. The &quot;Robinson&quot; copies you mention were made from a pair of copy dies in 1861 by a diesinker in Boston named Merriam. Only 25 brass and 25 copper were reported struck. These are prooflike and have a different lettering style than the original. I would think that these would have some interest but would not of great value.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Sometime during the same period, the curator of the Mint Cabinet, DuBois, made gilt electrotypes of the Mint&#039;s specimen of the Brasher Doubloon. These have edge seams very much like cast pieces.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
