"Isnt it true the Borlands are a more brassy looking stamp?"
I have found that new ones do have a brassy look.

"I can not tell on this scan if the $1 is brass looking. It is mint looking for sure."

It is mint and it is brassy looking.
The person I got it from had a lot of them.
Even a small amount of table wear, even in a home game, will get rid of most of the brassy look.
