Dang, that went fast! I didn't. My favorite is the locomotive, and holy cow is it priced accordingly. Someone's going to love having this in their collection, but it won't be me.
I jus received this today. Western Reserve has their 100th anniversary this year so the club let us have one Morgan counterstruck or we can submit what coin we wanted. New members are only allowed one as the olde members were allowed 5 coin submit.
Since I have the only test strike made for the clubs president for the 75th. I had Ron take a blank silver dollar and counterstamp his initials and so forth on it and have a 100th year counterstruck in the center. Shown below with the edge detail.

@ZoidMeister Thanks for the info, and I like all of those. The Gobrecht Dollar is really super! I jumped on their website, looks like you got the last one!!!!! Out of stock.....I would have likely ordered one on the spot!

Eldorado,
They have a box that says "Notify me when back in stock."
Give them your email. They tend to run strikings of 20 pieces or so at a time, maintaining the "Limited Mintage" aspect of the piece.
You have to act quick when you get the email, because 30 other people also got that email. They can keep demand high with this technique.
Sometimes it's a couple days, sometimes a couple weeks, but you'll get notified. Once you get the email, your name drops off the list and you have to re-sign up if you want another.
They have very few really "limited" to a certain number of total strike pieces. But their engraving and minting is spectacular. The "antiqued" versions used to be only a $5 uptick in price. Now they are $10. Not sure if I would bite if the uptick gets much higher.
I've been doing a LOT of research on a few very old Ron Landis / Gallery Mint website archives lately.
I think I've run across a Landis / GMM piece on just about every page that I have picked up over the past year. I thought it might be fun to show early sales or articles on a few of the pieces I have been fortunate enough to acquire. Many of these references have mintage figures, initial sales prices, and information on the creation of the piece.
Ron Landis had a nice write up appeared this morning in Coin Week. Under Market Analysis. ‘Mint scene on American Eagle bullion coin. ‘If I knew it was being auctioned the pricerealized would have been more. Much more.

I was the underbidder on that piece. I wanted to go higher but there were other things I was bidding on in that auction as well.
I've had a set of the FSNC nickels for years. Decided to try the Landis pieces.
Got them back from Anacs a few weeks ago and off to Todd they went for imaging.

I commissioned that piece, actually designed as a chain edge struck pair. I supplied the 1961 impaired proof half for donor with instructions on what I desired. Back in that day these were called "SPECIAL ORDERS" I have seen that one trade 3 times over the last 25+ years. Someone early on kept its mate. Look at bust of dated cent, I had them rotate 2nd strike, that why there's a profile lurking next to 1793

Wow, that's great information! It's amazing to connect this back to you! That's a lot of time and history!
It makes sense that there's another piece to go with this given how its struck. Hopefully the companion will show up some time!
I picked up one of these a while back. I'm finding it very satisfying doing the research on the creation and original sales of some of these Ron Landis / GMM works of art.
Needless to say, it cost me quite a bit more today.
Regrets for the duplicate post above. I'm getting older and sometimes forgetful. I did however, want to highlight the original sales information with that piece.
Here is one I'm sure I haven't posted here before.
Ron created a little token for his 30th high school reunion. I just had to partake.

=================================
I ran across this interesting ANA token by Ron Landis / GMM the other day.
Actually, it's a pair of tokens. Two planchets were struck with a 1977-D Lincoln Cent sandwiched in between.
I just thought it was cool and would fit in well with my oddball collection.
No, it didn't come with the Lincoln Cent unfortunately . . . .
Okay, which one of you'ze guys bought THIS one . . . . . . .

Dang, that went fast! I didn't. My favorite is the locomotive, and holy cow is it priced accordingly. Someone's going to love having this in their collection, but it won't be me.
The locomotive is down to $1125 today. Here's the chance to get it "cheap".
Ron did make a VERY LIMITED number of these in .999 silver then gold plated them for a few special customers. That is the information I received from my source for these. They were not heavily publicized as to not impact the demand for the real deals.
Zoid cain't afford the real deal but the limited quantities of these offsets the intrinsic value to me. These fit well into the "Zoid Hoard". I'm not sure how many sets he produced, but what I am thinking is that they number a dozen or fewer. Their weight gives them away. The Full Brasher weighs only 15.8g and the Half Brasher comes in at 7.8g.
Now I can go and post these into the "$50 or less . . . ." thread, at least I can post the smaller one . . . . . . .
I had a local dealer confirm with his machine that the pair was gold plate.
He commented to me that gold plate tends to display the super shiny aspect.

Nice pictures of the 1804 set do you have a dedicated camera setup for coins? I recently pickup up the proof set with box as well and really like it 👍 (was actually staring at it last night)

Those may be gold plate silver. Their super shinny look is same as my gold plated silver pair of Brashers.
My earlier post bumped up for Zoid. These are gold plated silver strikes. Notice how super shiny they are ?
This pair of Brashers are struck on silver before gold plate was to be applied.
.
.
.
.
And we have a WINNER!
Ron did make a VERY LIMITED number of these in .999 silver then gold plated them for a few special customers. That is the information I received from my source for these. They were not heavily publicized as to not impact the demand for the real deals.
Zoid cain't afford the real deal but the limited quantities of these offsets the intrinsic value to me. These fit well into the "Zoid Hoard". I'm not sure how many sets he produced, but what I am thinking is that they number a dozen or fewer. Their weight gives them away. The Full Brasher weighs only 15.8g and the Half Brasher comes in at 7.8g.

You should keep them both Zoid.
I had a local dealer confirm with his machine that the pair was gold plate.
He commented to me that gold plate tends to display the super shiny aspect.
Mike Bozynski had a number of these that weren't plated. I purchased an unplated silver half doubloon but missed the full one!
I now own THE KING OF SILVER DOLLARS.....thanks to GMM and Ebay
There is always to ways to shoot a proof and still experimenting as most have seen by now on other posts.

Nice pictures of the 1804 set do you have a dedicated camera setup for coins? I recently pickup up the proof set with box as well and really like it 👍 (was actually staring at it last night)
It's all about what the people want...

Thanks, yes a dedicated camera set up, nothing expensive or fancy. I still struggle with the proof fields.

I’ll post a set up pic later
