Gallery Mint did strike and market a copy of the 1796 No Stars Quarter Eagle.

Clearly this one does not match up. The date is way off as are the remaining details visible on the profile of Ms. Liberty.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1347229[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse is off too.

According to the book by [USER=66]@Conder101[/USER], it was founded in 2001 and run as an &quot;in-house&quot; service by a Florida coin dealer.
