Was watching them make them at the ANA - each gold one hand numbered by emission sequence. Couldn't bring myself to buy one, even though they were going to donate $250K of the proceeds to the ANA.
I was however able to buy one of the pewter ones from an enterprising YN.

That is very cool
Do you know the mintage in pewter? Is the mintage in pewter higher or lower than in gold?

One thing that held me back from buying one is that the possible mintage of the coins is high... sure, there were only 500 done at the ANA, but 500 is not going to be the total mintage. When I asked them about what the mintage would be they were not specific, but it seemed clear there were plans to make more of them but those would just not have the ANA pedigree on the NGC labels.
After the show, I saw in another thread that someone called Monaco and was told they would strike up to 10,000 of the Brasher restrikes. The only way I can see there being that much demand for these is if they do a big run of a few thousand coins for the home shopping shows or something like that. And if that does happen, those will likely be sold at high prices, but they'll ultimately end up in one of my local coin shops in a few years for not much more than melt just like most other coins from TV. Just a guess...

Here's the doubloon
and half doubloon, struck with same dies on half size planchet,
both 0.9167 as the originals (rather than .999)
I'd be interested in seeing a life-like picture of the newer one. I'd also be a buyer of the new one at a price a bit nearer to melt (as these were)

This DVD had better picture quality and I was able to update my "Coins in Movies" website.
The film uses a replica of the coin as a prop.
