A Big Shout Out to Dave Wnuck and a great 1796 Proof Family Portrait

Thanks everyone.......I'm going to steal some words and descriptions from @messydesk as he describes it the best,
.

"One of the things that the GMM coins were meant to do was reproduce not only the pieces, but also the manufacturing method of the early mint, from maintaining a screw press all the way down to hand-engraving dies and punches. The skill at which this was all executed was one of the big things that attracted me to these reproductions. Ron Landis' work outside the GMM repros, including not only hand-engraved coins, but also on steel guitars, dobros, French horn valve caps (not mine, but someone's who I sent to him), and pretty much anything else metal that needs engraving, is top notch."

Beautiful set. Are the "gold" pieces gold in your set?

....and every reproduction is correctly marked with the word "COPY" as required by law.

Yes, the gold are gold, they are exact weight and composition

Thanks for the kind words Stef et al.

But I do want to give credit where credit is due. Those photos were taken by Stefanie, and they are magnificent!

Thanks Dave, I laid them all out together on a black mat and took the pic. I took individual pics and those are even nicer.
When I have time I will assemble them altogether and it will look great.

I made another grouping of the coins. Very similar to the way they would sit in the wooden box
but you see both sides of the coin, I'm not sure as this might look to busy looking, so.........which wallpaper do you prefer?
