CZAPLA'S GALLERY MINT MUSEUM DIE VARIETY MANUSCRIPT FOUND

Edwin Johnson writes: "In 'Gleanings From Recent Numismatic Periodicals
and Catalogues' in last week's E-Sylum, in the last paragraph on the
Timothy Benford article in Coin Values (where I just so happen to have
been an interviewee), the question was posed as to the whereabouts
of Michael Czapla's manuscript on Gallery Mint Museum die varieties.
There is some information on that at Verne Walrafen's Gallery Mint
Museum ScrapBook."

[Many thanks for pointing this out.  Below are excerpts from the
web page, which was published in 2000. -Editor]

"I knew that Mr. Czapla had done extensive research into the GMM
creations but due to his untimely death I never could lay my hands

only copy of the Czapla first edition publication.

"This reference work, was created to provide collectors with the
necessary information to determine and identify the various die
varieties, die combinations and mintage of reproductions and modern
issues struck by the Gallery Mint Museum. Michael L. Czapla, III...
circa 1997
