    Description

    I used to enjoy collecting the replica coins produced by Ron Landis at the Gallery Mint Museum.  I now find myself with more than I need so I am selling off some duplicates in a number of lots.  These replicas were produced with hand-carved dies on a screw press just like the early years of the US Mint. They are fascinating and nicely detailed works of art.  All of the pieces are marked "COPY" on either the Obverse or Reverse.  They all come in their original GMM flips.
    This lot includes two 1796 Half Cents.  Both have Copy on the Reverse.  One of them was stuck with what Ron Landis called an Acid-Burnt die, I believe.  It was a while ago so I am not sure of the exact description.  The other is the normal die
    The coins are difficult to photograph but they are essentially as struck with bright fresh copper color.
    These are awesome little works of medallic art in their own right and would make a great complement to any collection of early copper coins.
    As they are difficult to photograph, I will offer a return privilege.  I will charge .00 for shipping and will combine shipping for multiple lots.  I have
    eight other lots of GMM tokens listed so please take a look at them, as well.  Good Luck!!
