<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collector1966, post: 1176537, member: 17919&quot;]I&#039;m not sure if you even can find a set like that any more. It was being produced by the Gallery Mint Museum several years ago, but the GMM&#039;s chief coiner died in early 2005 and the remaining partner, who was the chief engraver, decided to sell out his share of the operation shortly after that. The company that bought him out wasn&#039;t able to do much with the coinage operation, so they sold out to a guy in Nebraska, who had been offering some of the Gallery Mint Museum&#039;s reproductions, but I don&#039;t know if he still does. Here is his pricelist (last updated in 2008, apparently, so write first if you are interested)</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://drlawrencelee.com/largecent.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://drlawrencelee.com/largecent.html" rel="nofollow">http://drlawrencelee.com/largecent.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Also, here is a very large web site prepared by a very big fan of the Gallery Mint Museum, where you can read all about the reproductions and fantasy pieces made by the GMM during its heyday:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.gmmnut.com/gmm/rl.html?" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.gmmnut.com/gmm/rl.html?" rel="nofollow">http://www.gmmnut.com/gmm/rl.html?</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the page that talks specifically about the 1792 set (scroll about half-way down the page):</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.gmmnut.com/gmm/gmm68.html#straight" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.gmmnut.com/gmm/gmm68.html#straight" rel="nofollow">http://www.gmmnut.com/gmm/gmm68.html#straight</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a web site that talks about the GMM&#039;s Continental Dollar and Bar Cent:</p><p><a href="http://users.hal-pc.org/~edi/gmm/current.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://users.hal-pc.org/~edi/gmm/current.html" rel="nofollow">http://users.hal-pc.org/~edi/gmm/current.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>It is interesting to note that the chief engraver of the GMM (whom I had met on several occasions) was very active in trying to get new coinage designs started in the late 1990s, and he even prepared and submitted two excellent dollar designs that eventually lost out to the Sacagawea dollar.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
