Any Ron Landis / Gallery Mint collectors on CT?

From Limited Mintage site
Description
In 2012, we commissioned the iconic Ron Landis to hand-engrave our first die. The beauty and the character of a hand-engraved die is unrivaled. The Intaglio logo has never looked better or more authentic. This is the FIRST (and LAST) time this die will be used for a commercial product.

I have #14.

 

Ron Landis' new "Luna & Her Moth" art medals are available - and I bought the set - 3 ounce, 2 ounce and 1 ounce silver medals. Interesting choice that they are all approximately the same shape and circumference, I also have the Steampunk Octopuses set of 3, and they are all different sizes and shapes. These Luna Moths are part of the Cosmic Roots series - which includes my favorite Landis design - the Buck Rogers type "Rocketship" medal. I also collect Daniel Carr medals, antique political tokens and medals, Exposition / World's Fair medals, Coronation medals and other European art medals. So many interesting pieces! Here they are with a couple of my other more recent Landis acquisitions, the Steampunk Angler Fish with Gearhead reverse and Honey Bee with honeycomb reverse (link to the actual making of same -

I haven't contributed to this thread in a while. I was fortunate to have secured #17 of 17 . . . .

Here is a pretty cool Gallery Mint hobo nickel struck over a 1903 V Nickel.

I finally picked up a couple. Copy stamp reverse on one, obverse on the second.

And finally, something interesting for the Schlag Jefferson Nickel and Ron Landis collectors amongst us.

Wait, did NGC grade that or is it a self slab?

 

Any of my closeup photos with those white prongs and no glare are self slab, but I do like the adrenaline boost these photos give . . . . . .

I use those holders to help get the white balance correct in my photos. Before I started using those self slab holder, I cannot tell you how many of my brass strikes looked green and silver strikes looked yellow. The lighting at my desk is pretty bad . . . .

I got excited, I was gonna cross mine from ANACS to NGC, lol.

 

Here's a neat Gallery Mint item I bought many years ago. I figured people would like to see it. Regards, Mike

 

Because I've been out on walkabout for too long . . . . . . .
