Had to drop a nucular bid to get my latest Mel Wacks counterstamp NEWP

DNADave

I’ve been looking for a bicentaler for years but always got outbid. I bid 350 which was really a little more than I wanted to go, so happy it went for 200.
Really, I thought I had a little more of the collection than I do, and I think the Sandra Day O’Conner one will be tough. So will the Viking I Ike. I’m not sure why I don’t see the ANA counterstamp on the list. The hunt goes on.....Here’s my collection so far.

This prototype is rare.

Nope. It was totally Nukular. Just like Bush

I've never seen several of the examples shown earlier in this thread. It is always great to see something new!

Great collection!

That's a nice trial by Adam Cool. It's interesting that it was struck against a nickel.

Congrats!

Great collection so far!
By the way, it's O'Connor with an "O", not O'Conner - in case that helps with your search. I have one in my "same last name" collection of tokens and medals.

I have a theory about that nickel. The counterstamp Is doubled, the first strike very light. I think the nickel was added to improve the second strike.
