I got curious about the maker of my 1990 PCNS medal today so I did some searches and found out it was created by Masterpiece Medallions run by Lee and Joyce Kuntz.

Did anyone here know George and Joyce? Did they do their own engraving and minting?

It's really impressive that he's the 8th person to complete the Sheldon numbered variety large cent set. How many people are there today that have accomplished this?

Post your Kuntz / Masterpiece Medallions pieces here.

Here's a biography from the NNP:
