	About the 1787 EB on Breast Brasher Doubloon from the Gold Rush Collection
		A coin about which so little is really known aside from its maker, premier silver and goldsmith Ephriam Brasher, this unique specimen bearing his hallmark EB on the eagle's breast is certainly among the most desirable American coins.
		The Brasher Doubloon bears iconography relating to the State of New York, from whom Brasher hoped to receive a contract for coinage.
		The "EB on Breast" Brasher Doubloon sold for $2,990,000 along side an "EB on Wing" Brasher Doubloon which sold for $2,415,000 - the first and probably only time in history that two Brasher Doubloons were sold side by side.

		Director John Brahm, who also directed the excellent films The Lodger and Hangover Square, is disappointing, failing to create the depth of characterization and plot which he showed in these films.
		The Brasher Doubloon remains bland, with undistinguished acting by the entire cast.
