<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 18617777, member: 101855&quot;]For those who don&#039;t know about the &quot;shattered Indian&quot; variety, here it is. This piece is not at all scarce.

It is shown as NY 630-M-12ao. According the U.S. Store Card reference printed in 2014 by the Civil War Token Society, it was made with die 29315 / 29315 inc. It was struck on both sides with the same die, but with the early and late die states. I suppose the obverse was struck over on an existing token with the late state of die 29215. I can&#039;t think of any other way this could have been done, except for the fact that the &quot;good&quot; side is not flattened.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe an advanced CWT collector can explain this. I can&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Fuld catalog notes that many Bros token dies were made for collector consumption, and this must have been one of them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
