The Smithsonian Collection (Washington DC) has minted many varieties of coins, and coin patterns, etc. as restrikes. It's an amazing variety of reproductions but most are not per the originals and do not display 'COPY'. Most are seldom seen for sale and I can't find a list of what has been minted over the years. It would appear that the mintages, especially in the precious metals, are fairly scarce. One exception is are the restrikes of the Confederate States of America one cents that are available readily in platinum, gold, silver and copper. This Morgan Dollar is .5 ounce of .999 gold (15.552 g AGW) in an NGC holder of Proof 70 Ultra Cameo. This is the original Stacks & Bowers auction photo.
