BRASHER DOUBLOONS OFFERED AT HERITAGE

  Heritage cataloger Mark Borckardt writes: "I never 
  thought I would even see these coins, let alone have 
  a chance to catalog them. It is interesting that 
  these items came from two separate consignors. The 
  Lima style doubloon was consigned first, and the 
  two New York style pieces came in later. The printed
  catalog will have a slightly different presentation 
  than that on the web. A history of the Brasher 
  coinage is presented first, followed by the actual 
  coins. In addition, there are four other related 
  items: a Nova Eborac copper and a New Jersey Running 
  Fox copper, both punchlinked to the doubloons, along
  with two foreign gold coins each bearing Brasher's 
  EB counterstamp. I believe the chance to bid on a 
  set of the three different Brasher doubloons may 
  truly be a once in a lifetime opportunity. This is
  a phrase that is often tossed around, but in this 
  case I believe it is true. And, by the way, there's 
  also a 94-S dime in the FUN sale, along with about 
  9,000 other cool lots.

  For extra credit, who originally used a version of
  my first sentence, above, where did he use it, and
  for what item?"
