Final closeout sale of Gallery Mint Museum stock
Dr. Lawrence J. Lee, who ran Striker Token and Medal after the demise of
the Gallery Mint Museum, currently has a closeout sale underway of the remaining stock of original Gallery Mint Museum products, including many archived pieces. At this point, Dr. Lee has online offerings of Ron Landis' Concept dollars which have been very popular with collectors, a section of ancient reproductions and one of colonial coin reproductions. The Concept dollars run the gamut of issues between 1995-2000, when Gallery Mint Museum chief engraver, Ron Landis, made prototype designs as a replacement concept for the old Susan B. Anthony dollars. Some of the Concept dollars on sale are extremely low mintage and very desirable. These are the equivalent of modern day patterns. In the ancient coin reproductions section there are various sized Athenian drachmas and a Roman Eid Mar (Ides of March) reproduction. Also of interest are a large number of hand hammered Youth/Pegasus fantasy coins struck in pewter in the ancient Greek-style of minting In the colonial coin reproductions section there are Fugio cents, Bar cents, Continental Currency dollars in various metals and numerous dates for New Jersey coppers. Slated to appear next are US copper coin reproductions, including half cents and large cents. This is an opportunity not to be missed! And in the near future Dr. Lee will add even more categories of closeout items, which are sure to pique your interest. Please visit his website for details: Dr. Lawrence J. Lee Professional Numismatist http://striker-mfg.com/ BTW - For more facts about the Concept dollars, there is an overview on their history at the following website: The Gallery Mint's "One Concept" Dollars http://www.smalldollars.com/dollar/page17.html |

Not much of a sale, for the ancients replicas anyway, with the close-out price the same as the previous retail price for all of those that were previously sold. Not many left, which is undoubtedly why. -- Email: (delete "remove this") Consumer: http://rg.ancients.info/guide Connoisseur: http://rg.ancients.info/glom Counterfeit: http://rg.ancients.info/bogos |

Nice work. Sorry they are no longer being made. I wonder if they will increase in value in the coming years? |

Nice work. Sorry they are no longer being made. I wonder if they will increase in value in the coming years? No telling about potential price/value increase. Ron Landis is certainly a master engraver and has won prestigious recognition, and being his works, they have that much going for them. I like the various issues since they are real examples of the minter's art created using various technologies. In that sense they are numismatically educational. Verne Walrafen is such a fan that he had Ron Landis mint a series of his die creations in pure gold. It's a wonder to behold!: A Tribute to Master Engraver Ronald W. Landis http://www.gmmnut.com/gmm/rl83.html?#tribute |

I like the various issues since they are real examples of the minter's art created using various technologies. In that sense they are numismatically educational. Seeing some of the coins on eBay would suggest that they are really high value reproductions, I have personally sold some of the 1793 and 1794 style cents for 4-5X what I paid for them. I kick myself for not buying the starred reverse variety while they were still making them, or the 1794 Silver Dollar. I liked being able to take one of the 1794's and keep it as a pocket piece and play late 18th century coin pocket piece with it. |
