"The gold Brasher Doubloon is without doubt our country's most famous and significant coin. It has evey quality that anyone could desire in a rare and valuable coin. The few known pieces were made by a neighbor of George Washington; they are the only gold coins issued in pre-federal America; they are large and very attractrive; and the piece with the maker's touchmark on the eagle's breast is the only known example of that variety. No wonder this coin is one of the most valuable coins in the world. Always a favorite with collectors, the Brasher Doubloon was popularized by a movie of that same name where such a coin was the subject of theft and intrigue. And in the real world, the history of how a mere seven of these coins have survived since 1787 is just as fascinating. One was found during an excavation in New York City, another solen, and others hidden away for many years. They are a true part of America's heritage, and keystone to our numismatic history."
