Almost the only time are reprint is more valuable then the original is when:
A. The original is fairly common and both are bullion but the original is worn down so much that the reprint has a higher bullion value.
B. The reprint or reprinter is incredibly well know and liked

This is also true, but you will find that a great deal of restrikes are still very valuable and not just gold, take for instance the P/L restrike of British India coins (copper) many are valued around the $600 mark.
And the original is by far more valuable in this case. I would agree that the copy costs not more than melt.

Hello - I had visited the coin museum of Hall which is a historically important coin minting place for Austria. I was there last winter and if I am not mistaken this could be purchased from the shop. There were different varieties to buy with different metals such as aluminium, copper, and silver. Here is their website unfortunatelly they don´t show what they sell at their shop http://www.muenze-hall.at/index.php?lang=de
