[QUOTE="ZoidMeister, post: 8555461, member: 114169"]Bruce, Those counterstamped Sacagawea dollars were created by Ron Landis of Gallery Mint Museum in Arkansas. Around 1998, both Landis and Daniel Carr were submitting designs to the Mint for consideration for the small golden dollars to be issued. At the time, Ron Landis had GMM fully up and running creating all sorts of early American coin reproductions. The Ephraim Brashers hallmark EB stamp was being used on his Brasher Doubloons. [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brasher_Doubloon[/URL] [CENTER][ATTACH=full]1510459[/ATTACH] [/CENTER] Ron subsequently created the RL stamp to mimic the Ephraim Brasher hallmark stamp used on the doubloons. As Ron was also actively involved in the Golden Dollar design competition, he decided to commemorate a few of the new Glenna Goodacre designed Sacagawea Dollars with the EB and RL stamps when they were released. Below are certificates with the numbers created. The pair above is set #3. [CENTER] [ATTACH=full]1510460[/ATTACH] [/CENTER] Z[/QUOTE]
