<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 8611459, member: 42034&quot;]Some years ago I ordered the 1794 Gallery mint set upon the recommendation of a friend.&nbsp; I really wanted a 1795 set but they didn&#039;t make one: just the 1794.&nbsp; I was particularly interested in the half-dollar as I collected those.&nbsp; He had a set including gold: maybe it was a 1796 set, which looked really good.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, the 1794 half was a terrible reproduction: it was a crude caricature of the real piece.&nbsp; It had no grace at all, like the real Flowing Hair pieces and just looked crude and childish.&nbsp; I think they put no effort into their replicas of the Flowing Hair silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>I put the set away in my junk box and never took it out again.&nbsp; I couldn&#039;t imagine GM sets fooling anybody although I recall the copper coins being much better copies than the silver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
