<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GeorgeM, post: 18604018, member: 28550&quot;]I picked this up recently. Any idea why so many of the Broas Bros dies ended up clashed, shattered, and kept being used? Was the manufacturer using low quality metal? Drunk workers? Or, were they under contract to produe an excessive number of coins per die they had? </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, this is the less common NY-630M obverse paired with the (unshattered) same reverse. EG: Our Country / Our Country combination, instead of the Indian Head / Our Country pairing or the George Washingting / Our Country pairing. Interestingly, you can see the Indian Head clashed onto the obverse, perhaps indicating the Indian head shattered completely and they ended up muleing two reverses to make this. </p><p><br /></p><p>My apologies for any blurring - tough to use the endoscope through a SEGS slab:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1537857[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1537848[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1537849[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1537850[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1537851[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1537852[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1537853[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1537854[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1537855[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1537856[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
