I have had this for years and have never found another one online. Only just found Ron Landis and I'm sure it's one of his. Appears to be a limited edition. Anyone know anything about it? I think it's from the 89 renaissance festival.

Ask him. You can contact him through his website or on Facebook.

@ZoidMeister that’s pretty cool about last chance forever. Token.
And, his cravings go way back.....I never really knew either until I started searching his work.

Do you have a comprehensive list of coin-like items he's produced? Does anyone? Does Ron? I imagine the catalog would make for a rather impressive book.

I do believe that you have yourself a bona-fide pre-GMM Ron Landis piece there. As you suspect, it looks to be a serial numbered silver strike.

Here are images of my 1989 Brass Renaissance Fair piece . . . .

That's like trying to fathom the abyss, methinks . . . . .

This is just the entrance to the "rabbit hole", one from whence there seems to be no bottom . . . . . .

I have all of the cancelled dies made for the ssca Kellogg restrikes. Also the first struck in silver he made and a test in wax that is cool. Also a gold 50 made from unparted ingot gold that was the first gold
Struck. And some
Other goodies Ron made. Very nice people.

These are wonderful pieces. It's very cool that you own these. Do you have photos to share?

How many cancelled dies there are? I've seen two die pairs sold. One on Heritage and another on eBay.

Here's the one from Heritage:

https://coins.ha.com/itm/s.s.c.a.-relic-gold-medals/1855-ms-kellogg-and-co-relic-gold-restrike-dies-total-2-items-/a/1114-1865.s

Cancelled 1855 Kellogg Gold Relic Restrike Dies
The Dies for Used on the Uncirculated Pieces

1855 MS Kellogg & Co. Relic Gold Restrike Dies. An interesting pair of dies that was used to produce the business strikes of the gold restrikes based on the 1855 Kellogg fifties. Several Kellogg and Humbert ingots from the salvaged ship S.S. Central America were sliced in such a way that only the face of the bar remained. The bullion was then used to produce restrikes that resemble 1855 Kellogg fifties. Both proofs and business strikes were made. In this sale, we also have a set of four business strikes from each of the four days of issue: 8/26/01, 9/3/01, 9/7/01, and 9/12/01.

These dies show no trace of polish in the fields and display a fine-grain texture seen on the circulation strikes. The reverse die is undated, which enabled its usage for all four striking periods. The date was hand-stamped into each individual coin. Each die is cancelled with a rim-to-rim X. As an interesting sidenote, the dies are slightly magnetic. A unique offering.

Such rare and cool items. Thanks for posting the pictures. I would probably never see anything like them with out your post.

messydesk · May 6, 2021 6:29PM

He's still trickling old stuff he'd made onto his website for sale. I picked up two pieces today because I happened to be refreshing his "Vintage Stock" page at the right time.

coinsarefun · May 6, 2021 7:17PM

@Dwight_M what an exceptional post.......thanks for sharing!

Not new....had this for over a year but now taking pic;s.
This is a plastic die trial when he was making the medals, before he added all the other details.

I don’t have the finished medals. They might be on his website. These are test strikes in silver even earlier then when he added the scroll work on the dragon. They were struck on 2 one ounce bullion rounds because of the extreme relief.

These are his images.

The steampunk is such high relief he had to stick a cent in between the 2 silver rounds.

@coinsarefun

I've seen the Steampunk Anglerfish, I actually own one, and the Memento Mori skull design. The dragons and unicorn are elusive on his site . . . . . . TBA designs perhaps?

I don't see it in his store.......maybe sold all of them? I'm fairly certain they were made as uniface medals with his counter stamps on the reverse. Mine are plain, before he counter-stamped them

I also took some better images of Ron's pocket piece. Has some nice wear and patina.

Cool, I was wondering how that one looked @Bullsitter I still can’t tell if it’s copper or silver

coinsarefun · May 11, 2021 3:25PM

By the way here is an interesting comparison. The top image is an electrotype, exact copy.
And below is Ron Landis.

Before they struck the re-release of the 1938 nickel design. A few first try's were done and this is one of them

Wow! I missed this the first time around!

ZoidMeister · May 21, 2021 11:16AM

I really wish I could have raised the funds to purchase one of the Gold Schlag strikes while they were available, but I WAS able to secure the next best item IMHO . . . . .

I got one of the Copper Proof setup pieces he made testing the dies for the gold strikes. So in a sense, this is probably one of the first strikes made from the proof dies.

.

Upper Right - Copper Proof
Upper Left - Silver Proof - 2 pc. Set (1 of 100)
Lower Left - Silver Matte - 2 pc. Set (1 of 100
Lower Right - Nickel Planchet (1 of 40)

ZoidMeister · May 21, 2021 11:24AM

A couple others I have been fortunate to have secured . . . . .

Both Piedford planchets.

I'm not really a collector of GMM, but I am a collector of Felix Schlag stuff. The recent offerings fit well into my collection, but I am so slow to find out when these are made/available.
I missed out on so many, but I was able to get the gold Schlag Jefferson repro #17, the last one made.

Not all Landis, a few Carr's and US Mint, but it's a nice little assemblage.
