1995 Token X-580 Goldine Gallery Mint Mus. Concept

Coin Details

Description

This 1995 goldine token, cataloged as X-580, is the gold-colored version of the Gallery Mint Museum's concept design. Goldine — a copper-zinc alloy with a distinctive golden color — provided an attractive alternative to standard copper, giving this Gallery Mint piece a rich warm appearance. The X-580 design in goldine demonstrates Ron Landis's interest in exploring different metals and their visual effects on his designs. Gallery Mint Museum pieces in goldine are less common than copper versions, as the specialty alloy was used more selectively. Landis's exceptional skill as an engraver and mint operator made the Gallery Mint Museum one of the most respected private minting operations in American numismatic history, and his concept pieces represent the creative freedom that private minting allowed.
