I was going to finish the whole collection and send it to NGC. I still need the bicenthaler and the penny.
Now that PCGS is slabbing them, I may have to send in my Wacks collection AND my WV cwt collection.
On a side note. PCGS is calling them counter marks.

Pictures please
There’s one on eBay. I didn’t want to steal their pic and I’m not able to link it from this dang phone.
Sometimes I think that animals are smarter than humans, animals would never allow the dumbest one to lead the pack
Oh crap, now I'm gonna get another YMCA takedown notice

Cool.
These are cool. Thanks
I have a decent collection of MW coins but no where near a full set.
I did pick up a Bicentaler some years ago.
Many of his coins were marketed in Germany when issued so if you are searching you might also try German Ebay.
Here's a July 17, 2019 article on this:
Not only does PCGS straight grade Mel Wacks split planchets like this MS65 TrueView, PCGS classifies these as "So-Called Dollars" as shown on CoinFacts further below.
I personally would like to see split planchets listed separately in the pops.
CoinFacts So-Called Dollar classification:
PCGS is certainly making strides in what they will slab!
If you do, make sure you get TrueViews
@Outhaul just posted one of these....His just has a small crack at one o'clock....Cheers, RickO
