Nice gold selection up for grabs still at Landis Studios. I already have the three coins he’s offering and can say they are amazing….

I’m still missing the 1796 eagle and half eagle so keeping my eyes peeled for those to show up 👀

ZoidMeister · October 20, 2021 7:14PM

A recent arrival . . .

. . . . but there will be one or two more to post up after today's Vintage Stock surprise . . . . . .

That one looks like it’s on its way to some nice toning…… @ZoidMeister
We need to ask Ron’s ex what she stored it in to get the other super toned ones

ZoidMeister · October 22, 2021 8:30AM

I picked these up a while ago, but didn't do a show-n-tell when they arrived.

I found a couple of Ron's pewter unstruck planchets. They have raised rims, the edge is engraved GALLERY MINT, and has the image of a little coin press.

I finally took some photos and have them cataloged on Token Catalog. Here is the link, and photos below.

Zoid has been very very busy taking photos and logging some of Ron's / GMM's older ANA and Coin Club tokens into Token Catalog.

Here is a link to my progress so far. It also documents some of the weird and unusual stuff of Ron's that I like to collect.

That is some awesome stuff there!! I love how you listed the info on tokencatalog.com
excellent idea

Mr Lindy · October 22, 2021 2:49PM

I was at this annual ANA Summer Seminar event. Back then I lived 2.7 miles from ANA Museum/ Colorado College Campus. I rode my mountain bicycle to these events for years. Easy front row parking & safe 3am departures & best of all, no extra housing fees on CC Campus. Those were very good times !!!

These are mini mint screw press strikes. Not hammer struck, sorry.

While Ron and Joe played music and visited with friends, we, the students struck up every bit of the pewter provided. We even joked about it....

What is rare are the normal strikes from this V Jansen Eagle & Landis die pairing. I hope I have one? I've collected up errors since 1979 so there is a real good chance I do not have a normal one.

I likely have photos, 35mm SLR film images I took at this ANA event. Or it was previous year. Or both. I met Ron when he was flying solo at a 1990 or 1991 ANA event in Colorado Springs, before Gallery Mint existed. His Kings Coin Hammer video was awesome. I was blown away and opened my wallet. I bought into Landis goodies prior to GMM realization. My very first exonumia purchases were Ron & Joe's Ren Fest Goodies.

Dang it. My first order and they screwed it up 😬. Wrong item Not a good look. Well heck. Ofcourse it’s the weekend. Got to sit and live with a coin I like and one I don’t, a lot. 😬 I just am not in the mood to deal with a return. Always a hassle. Maybe they will be different.

i will get back on TokenCatalog and make those corrections.

Listing "incorrect" information is SOMETIMES better than correct but incomplete information for the corrections and additional information it stimulates. It always helps make the publicly available information more accurate.

By the way, that's a GREAT behind the scenes glimpse into the real behind the scenes workings of the minting process. Having not been there, I conjecture scenarios and am appreciative of any and all clarifications given.

If you don't mind, I would love to include a synopsis of your account above in the listings.

I purchased the 2000 Statue of Liberty 11 Ray from Landis website few days ago and was comparing this to the ones I bought years ago from Joe Rust's daughter. After laying them all out it appears.....beside the graded ones I have:
1- 11 Ray from Joe Rust
1- 11 Ray from on Landis
1- 11 Ray piedfort planchet from Joe Rust.

I thought the 11 Ray piedfort planchet was thought to be rarer than the 11 ray itself and maybe @MWallace or someone else can chime in and explain what do I really have here.

Here is the link to small dollars.com

or for those that don't want to click on the link see below.....

I did ask Ron this evening and he said: Perhaps made for photographs. Or for archive sets. Most likely extremely rare ( The 11 ray Piedfort)

here are the images below.

Too Bad for me then Zoid.
Hope you got at least $800 for her as that is what mine ran me a decade+ ago.

Ron found yet another right after this one, I lost out on it too...

I wonder, are these dies actually cancelled, yet ????

Anyone got images of all or any discontinued product GMM Canceled Dies ????

Is the IGWT 95 Obverse die canceled or archived ????

I have one cancel die image, strawberry wreath cent.

Via Ebay in 2001 , Twenty years ago. Yes I wanted two as its my favorite. I wonder, does this RARE Concept trial die exist still, is it still uncanceled ???? or Canceled ????

Via a visit in Eureaka Springs in 1996, waxed impression on back of my biz card. An example of a canceled GMM replica coin die via wax impression. While in Eureaka on holiday I saw dozens of GMM archived dies dating back to Ren Fest, none were canceled. All stored in wooden pull out drawers for storage.

Hail no Lindy, she ain't going nowhere!

What I mean to communicate is that the USPS lady brought the others above from Landis Studios along with her.

I'm still expanding the hoard, not downsizing.

Good For You Zoid !

For me IGWT Trial Concept remains centerpiece of my Gallery Mint collection.

I am glad you bought it to keep it, not to quick flip it.

Buy & hold is how I've collected up error coinage, Gallery Mint, & Daniel Carr goodies.

Oh, I didn’t realize they key date replicas were royal oak mint items… I was going off what the seller told me, and need to do a bit more research apparently! Thanks for the info.

In the meantime, here are the gallery mint golds I have (two purchased straight from Landis Studios, and one from an original GMM patron with an accompanying letter.

Excited to get a 1796 full eagle to go into my hodgepodge collection of Gallery Mint Gold.

it’s an Uncirculated Eagle , almost Satin… take a look 👀

Here she is next to the GM 1794 uncirculated half dollar I also picked up recently … two very beautiful renditions If you ask me.

Very nice. I just recently started my hodgepodge collection of GMM itmes but have yet to find a gold piece to add. Congrats on that pick up.
