Greysheet Catalog Details (GSID: 180)

The 1787 One Doubloon is part of a series of Brasher Coinage coins struck from 1742-1787. The specific variety is Brasher. Struck in New York and designated as a Business (MS) strike, this coin is made of gold 89.3%, silver 6.4%, copper approximately 3%, remainder trace elements (per Michael Hodder) from a mintage of Unique struck and has a rarity rating of 8.
According to Heritage Auctions in the in their 2005 auction, in which this coin sold for $3 million, "In the Garrett Collection sale, this coin was called 'the single most important coin in American numismatics.' Today, its status is no different. Any coin that is unique can be considered an important coin. The importance also depends on the coin's position in the numismatic world. A Colonial American gold coin, one of two varieties intended for actual circulation, maintains a higher position in American numismatics than another coin which might be part of a long series of coinage issues."
Reverse: An eagle with wings fanned out surrounded by stars at its head. A wreath of leaves surrounds the eagle with the words E PLURIBUS UNUM, 1787 at the periphery. Importantly, the letters EB are stamped on the eagle's chest.

About CDN Prices

All CDN prices are based on proprietary market knowledge and technology developed by CDN Publishing, LLC.

CPG® prices represent retail levels. Collectors should refer to CPG values as a starting place for their negotiations, or auction bid reference.

Greysheet/Greensheet prices are wholesale market levels for collectible coins/paper money intended to indicate what a dealer, or wholesale, buyer would pay for the described item in the specified grade. Greysheet/Greensheet represent "sight-seen" values based on a buyer's in-hand review. The actual value can be more or less than this depending on factors including eye appeal and market timing.

Bluesheet (NGC & PCGS) prices represent the highest sight-unseen offers to buy on dealer networks like CDN Exchange. In many cases, there are no active sight-unseen buy offers, so CDN looks to the recent lowest market values for such an item. For this reason, Bluesheet values typically represent the floor of the market for the specified item. CDN only tracks Bluesheet on certain items.

CAC prices are for U.S. coins that meet the standards of the Certified Acceptance Corporation. You can learn more about CAC on their web site.

Price movement is indicated for price changes in the last 30 days.

The prices listed in our database are intended to be used as an indication only. Users are strongly encouraged to seek multiple sources of pricing before making a final determination of value.
