The auction stated.......
_Gallery Mint Museum GMM w/ Misc. Die Trial Strikings. Irregular diameter due to counterstamps, approximately 40.5mm (1.6 inch) diameter. This is a blank planchet for the GMM commemorative of the First U.S. Silver Dollar. The edge is lettered: **BICENTENNIAL OF THE FIRST U.S. SILVER DOLLAR. ** Struck many times with the obverse and reverse dies for the 75th Anniversary of the Western Reserve Numismatic Club (WRNC, located in Cleveland, OH and founded in 1921) several reverse dies for GMM copies of a U.S. large cent. Finally, three impressions of an RL (possibly Ron Landis) die. This piece if from the collection of the late Rich Wroblewski, who was president of WRNC at the time of the 75th anniversary counterstamps (1996). Mr. Wroblewski handled the complete process of obtaining the counterstamps for the club_

I verified this with Ron and he said it’s his and he did do it for him. As far as he can remember there is not another.
He said it was done long ago and he can’t 100% say for sure but felt it was it.
.
Even if there were a few more I would still be in love with it because as some know here, I’m from Cleveland
And this numismatic club means a lot to me.
I hope some of you enjoy my new pickup and thanks for letting me share what’s has some importance to me.

This further ties into my 1971 Western Reserve medal. And, I was able to pick up a 1964 Cleveland ANA Medal set.

I dare say I couldn’t be any happier and below is what this post is about.
