High Relief 5oz Silver Medal
This is a Gallery Mint proof high relief .999 silver medal, a true
marvel of the talent of Ron Landis, Joe Rust and the Gallery Mint. This
medal is 46mm in diameter, 10mm thick and weighs six
(see Ron's comment below - vrw)
ounces. The proof field is hairlined on the obverse,
otherwise this piece is as struck, highly detailed and intricate. This
one numbered 44 of 500, but according to Ron Landis at Eureka
Springs,
less than 50 were produced. This piece was struck
in a four piece collar and the panels illustrate the entire minting
process from mining to minting. These medals required much hand work to
finish, much like a cast medal. The flash on the edge is natural to the
process. Interest is fairly high in this rare piece.

The large silver medal with the cherubs around the
edge is actually a FIVE ounce piece. I've always wanted to go back and
do another medal going off what we learned on this piece. I like the
concept of using the edge as a third side of the medal. The proportions
were made figured so that each of the three sides are approximately
equal in square inches. Now that we have a large proofing press, we may
be able to cold strike a medal of this size. Ron Landis...Sat, 26 Aug

ANA Convention, Exhibitor And Seminar Medals
There are some really interesting medals produced by GMM that would need
to be documented for the proposed
Link:GMM Creations Timeline.
Frankly, I'm really concerned that we are fighting a come-from-behind
battle to capture all the data needed to accomplish that for posterity.
In the March 1998 Gallery Mint Report, on the fifth page,
in Gallery Mint donates Exhibitor's Medals it says;
This pewter medal was produced and distributed to exhibitors and exhibit
judges at the New York ANA convention. The original medal was carved
from a solid block of brass, much the way hobo nickels are carved. These
medals are not die struck. A rubber mold was made from the original, and
a low temperature pewter alloy was cast in this mold.
| 1998 ANA
Summer
Seminar Medal |
The medal features an elaborate raised letter edge that reads, PRESENTED
TO EXHIBITORS AND JUDGES FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE 106TH ANNUAL
CONVENTION OF THE AMERICAN NUMISMATIC ASSN.
The original was carved off and on over a three month period and was
put aside to concentrate on the prototype dollar. The medals were
distributed recently. The second of the series from GMM, we hope to
continue donating these medals each year.
What we need is someone who follows medals to help us out here!

The Gallery Mint started producing ANA convention exhibit pewter medals
in 1996 for the Denver show, 63.5mm and 125 created. They produced 1997
exhibit pewter medals, again 63.5mm and 125 created. The 1998 exhibit
pewter medal was just presented at the 2000 convention and only 120 were
created! The 1999 exhibit silver medal is 38.1mm and 150 were struck. It
features the helmeted head of Minerva facing left and was modeled after
the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition $50 gold piece obverse
die. All the exhibit medals are quite scarce, due to low mintage and the
people tend to keep them! One of the 1997 pewter's sold at auction in
1999 for $155!
I have not seen any summer seminar medals but the 1999 silver pieces as
yet. They are 19mm and 500 were struck.
