Civil War Token Errors

I've generally limited my collection to US coins with a single error type. There are times, however, that I break this rule when I find compelling examples which are not available or affordable in US coins. One coin that comes to mind is the 1967 New Zealand/Bahamas mule that I could never afford in a US coin.

Due to the imprecise nature of many Civil War tokens, they have produced some rather spectacular errors. I'm sure that many on this forum are familiar with the strong clash and shattered die of the Broas Bakery token.

I'm also showing a picture of a doubled three on a Civil War token which I can't recall seeing on a US coin.

That Broas Bakery token is super sweet! Keep 'em comin' OEG!

 

I just won a nice Broas Pie token in Steves' last auction , you have to love those Die cracks .

 

Congrats! They are fun coins. I'm sure an interesting study could be made of the progression. I've got one where a good reverse is mated with the clashed reverse, but it is in terrible shape.

BTW, I'm new here. Who is "Steve". Thanks

 

Steve Hayden , I think he got most of Tananbaums collection of CWTs and other tokens .

 

Here's his link . You're right , I'd like to have a perfect one all through the die cracks and clashes .

Thanks , but it's darker than the pics , I think they juiced the photo a little bit , in hand it's just brown , but I like it .
