<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 2056260, member: 22729&quot;]The design was done by Mel Wacks and the die, I believe, was cut by Adam Cool. Cool did most of the early pieces for Wacks, but I think someone else may have produced dies for later emissions.</p><p>&nbsp;Wacks himself said that his notes indicated that only 200 were struck, so I&#039;m not sure about the 1,500 number on the presentation card. This is the eighth counterstamp issued by Wacks and is designated MW8. Most of his stamps include a near-microscopic set of his initials (MRW) but I don&#039;t see it on your example. It may be so small that I&#039;m just not seeing it.</p><p>If you want to read about him, just Google his name. Sorry, I can&#039;t provide a link but there&#039;s a copy of an article he penned for the TAMS Journal online that would probably interest you Oded. I have one or two Wack&#039;s issues in my collection, but not this one. While once they were relatively inexpensive to acquire, that&#039;s no longer the case. They appear quite often on eBay though.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
