1793 Gallery Mint Museum Chain Cent reproduction.

A few years ago, Gallery Mint Museum reproductions were all the rage. That was because the Gallery Mint Museum (GMM), in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, was making all of its reproductions to the exact specifications of the originals. For example, the original specifications for early silver dollars were 26.96 grams of .8924 silver, .1076 copper, so those are the specs the reproduction silver dollars had. Even the gold reproductions faithfully followed the original specs. On top of that, the dies were hand-engraved, and the coins were made on the same type of screw press used in the early Mint days.

The Chain Cent reproduction shown here was one of the early attempts. Later reproductions were so good that they even fooled experts. The GMM was written up in the numismatic publications at the time, and GMM staff were rubbing elbows with the big names of the numismatic world. Unfortunately, the GMM coining operations shut down a few years ago after the death of its chief coiner.

I'll see your Apple Cheeks and raise you a Thick Hair; Close Date with a Close Right Stem. This is one of the poorly represented group of VF S-61s in my humble opinion.
