I think the great things about the original pieces is they are not marked COPY.. There still are some small private mints that are doing great things. Its good for the Hobby if you support them by buying one once in a while instead of US-Mint products that are set up like bowling pins to be instant hits for beanie-baby-flipsters.

Got these two on Ebay for $45. Don't know if that's good or bad. These are my first two RL tokens and I always liked the Wizard. Looked for about a year before I found one. They both have the red printed COA but the second piece has a number written on the COA, 6013. Any known mintages on these?

Well it is official. A new rabbit hole has formed in my back bedroom and I dove in head first. The map that was posted was for Concept Dollars but there was an tunnel that led to some other things as well. Ordered today, shipped today. RL's photos.
My exploration of Scallop edge coins used for creation of GMM brockaged mated pairs:
Also known as:
"SPECIAL ORDERS"
1975 Hong Kong Dollar placed partially/mostly over GMM Large Cent Planchet, then GMM struck them with an, as requested by me, 1793 RARE Short 1 in date die resulting in another 2 piece mated pair.

Zoins,
1793 "RARE" Short 1 in date die struck a perfectly placed 4 sided scallop 5c into a GMM copper Large 1c planchet.
Thus, resulting in a mated pair. I took my evolving error GMM orders quite seriously, as did they. I am a 100% satisfied special order customer !
Order after order...
All my specials were hand drawn out by me, 99% donor coins supplied by me. Mated pairs made using their coins or planchets as hosts were supplied by GMM. That's the 1% I did not send to Eureka Springs.
Continuing on with my 25 years ago error explorations:
Actual Error, a non copper plated USA ZINC 1c planchet struck into a simple two item mated pair using 1793 1c three cuds die pair, as I requested, on yet another interesting special order feature, their wrong, vines & bars edge GMM planchet as special ordered up.
Was a solid MS66 I cherry picked out of a BU roll a decade earlier:
1943D Steel Cent struck into same as above GMM late die state 1793 1c Three cuds die pair, on, yet again, their wrong for issue vines & bars edge GMM planchet.
Crazy Times, I was confronted with insane shopping opportunities just 25 years ago.
Sure I wish in some cases I picked even more interesting donor coins to mate...

Great looking set! Do you know what the numbers in the lower right corner of the inserts mean? I've always been curious about those!
At first I wondered if they are catalog numbers, but seeing all of these together I wonder if they are like a serial number for each type?
@Zoins I just ordered the Proof half cent and mine has #996. The explanation was mine is the 996 minted. LindyS bought a whole bunch and got them in order as they came off the press. At least that is the way I understand it.
The copper 1793 set, and proof came in along with the 1796 proof dime. I love the proof silver so I ordered a few more things. More of Landis Studio photos. I can't even come close to these photos so why try.
These are wax impressions from some interesting Gallery Mint dies, One is the 1995 Concept Dollar with IGWT obverse, the other is the cancelled obverse die for the Coin World Chain Cent. These were impressed by Verne Walrafen on one of his many trips to the Mint and then gifted to me. Prized pieces!

This particular specimen was sold by Jennifer:

Gallery Mint Museum - 1999 Alexander/Rust Marriage Token
Designed by Ron Landis, hand struck by Joe Rust, my father and founding partner of Gallery Mint. Dad struck these for guests at my wedding, including two in gold (sorry guys, you will never see these for sale). These are in pewter I believe and were a wonderful token to give the guest at our wedding. I will offer this one and possibly one more if time allows for followers of GMM. .

From 1995 through 2005, the Gallery Mint published newsletters and collectors updates to allow GMM patrons to keep up with the goings on at the Mint. I was fortunate to acquire an almost complete set of Gallery Mint newsletters. They can be viewed here: gmm.cdbpdx.com/news/
Thanks so much for sharing.
I was going through some stored items recently and came across an unopened box from the Gallery Mint. When I opened it I found a display box. Now that tells me somewhere I have the coins that go with it presumably for the Complete 1796 Type Set.
The archived newsletters also identified that the 1796 Set and Display Case were first introduced at the "107th Convention of the American Numismatic Assn. in Portland, Oregon." Ironically, I attended that one.
OK, here is box from the Gallery Mint that I just opened after all these years. As pictured, I can confirm that it is for the full 14 piece 1796 set. Note the date on the postmark as documentation of when it was mailed by the mint. Now to find that separate package of the coins to go into the display box.
To what extent have these sets in the case gone up in value?

Enough to where I think you will be very happy. If what I paid for the Proof Dollar, Half Dollar, Quarter and Dime are any indication you have done well sitting on this set.
You can research what you likely paid direct from GMM using Clifford's handy archived newsletter images/links. Gold and silver metals were far more affordable back when you bought. Everyone who bought back then are up over admission price:
I am not sure what normal replicas sell for as I only concentrated on made on purpose errors and historically significant items from their limited production. I have paid good money on those at fleabay since 1998 and at coin shows when I come across something I do not own & desire & can afford.

The copper 1793 set, and proof came in along with the 1796 proof dime. I love the proof silver so I ordered a few more things. More of Landis Studio photos. I can't even come close to these photos so why try.

My Proof 1796 10c with reeded edge applied planchet got struck by Doe Dough Die from fleabay. What were you shopping for in early 2001 ?
These are wax impressions from some interesting Gallery Mint dies, One is the 1995 Concept Dollar with IGWT obverse, the other is the cancelled obverse die for the Coin World Chain Cent. These were impressed by Verne Walrafen on one of his many trips to the Mint and then gifted to me. Prized pieces!
Those are wonderful, historic, and rare pieces!
Verne was such as good patron of the Gallery Mint! I miss his enthusiasm and contributions. Rest in peace Verne!
Always something new to see here. Thanks for sharing the wax impressions @CDBPDX

Verne passed away in 2012.
Ron carved the following for Caroline, his wife.
What a kind gesture and amazing piece of art. Speaks a lot about the kind of person Ron is. They must have had a great friendship through GMM.

Here's a wonderful for the wedding of Joe Rust's daughter, Jennifer Leah, to Neil Alexander in Colorado Springs. It would be great to see the gold ones!
This particular specimen was sold by Jennifer:

To what extent have these sets in the case gone up in value?
Enough to where I think you will be very happy. If what I paid for the Proof Dollar, Half Dollar, Quarter and Dime are any indication you have done well sitting on this set.

You can research what you likely paid direct from GMM using Clifford's handy archived newsletter images/links. Gold and silver metals were far more affordable back when you bought. Everyone who bought back then are up over admission price:

I am not sure what normal replicas sell for as I only concentrated on made on purpose errors and historically significant items from their limited production. I have paid good money on those at fleabay since 1998 and at coin shows when I come across something I do not own & desire & can afford.
Lindy
Do you know of others that had purposely made errors? Is there a community of like minded collectors / co-creators of these?
Your hand-written drawings for the design of these are a part of history now and deserve to be documented as such
That was a great link and very helpful. Thanks. I am currently trying to build the Proof and Mint State sets. It should be a fun project to keep me busy.
