<p>[QUOTE=&quot;edix, post: 208303, member: 2749&quot;]Actually, the 1995 Concept Dollar by the Gallery Mint Museum is the most prized piece of my entire collection. Not only were just 1,371 minted all told, but the dies themselves were hand engraved by Ron Landis and they were struck on an old timey screw press. All in all, a completely handcrafted piece.</p><p>I received mine as a complimentary gift from GMM back around then, but $35 for that piece is a relative bargain in my opinion. Striker Token and Medal, the new name for what was Gallery Mint, Inc. will soon be offering the remaining stock of the 2000 Concept dollars, which had a mintage of 2,500 for each of two designs and the price for those will likely be around $35 or so.</p><p>Both Ron Landis and Daniel Carr were finalists for the reverse of what became the Sacagawea dollar, and Landis also received the American Numismatic Association&#039;s Numismatic Art Award for Excellence in Medallic Sculpture. So not only is the Concept dollar like a pattern, but one engraved by a contemporary master. In essence you have a work of modern art.</p><p>Here&#039;s my collection of GMM items:</p><p><a href="http://www.hal-pc.org/~edi/gmm/tokens.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.hal-pc.org/~edi/gmm/tokens.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.hal-pc.org/~edi/gmm/tokens.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
