1787-2014 Ephraim Brasher EB Doubloon Commemorative Gold Coin NGC

The 1787-2014 Ephraim Brasher “EB” Doubloon Commemorative Gold Coin NGC brings one of America's most celebrated early coin designs to life in beautiful .9999 fine gold. Privately struck in 2014 as a tribute to Ephraim Brasher's legendary 1787 New York-style Doubloon, this commemorative contains approximately 0.848 troy oz of pure gold with a total weight of approximately 26.4 grams. Master engraver Ron Landis recreated the historic design and employed traditional minting techniques inspired by those used during Brasher's era, including striking with a screw press and individually applying the famous oval “EB” hallmark after striking. Each piece comes certified and securely encapsulated by NGC, providing authenticity, protection, and an attractive presentation for this historically inspired gold collectible.

The story behind this commemorative begins in New York City in 1787, several years before the establishment of the United States Mint. Ephraim Brasher was a respected New York gold and silversmith whose customers included his neighbor George Washington. Brasher produced several privately struck gold pieces, including the now-famous 1787 New York-style Brasher Doubloon. The original displays Brasher's distinctive “EB” hallmark, with the best-known variety carrying the mark on the eagle's wing. Today, only seven New York-style Brasher Doubloons are known, making the originals legendary rarities of early American numismatics.
