<p>[QUOTE="cwtokenman, post: 20227882, member: 2100"]Bookworm, the OP's token was made with dies 29315/29320. The only time die 29315 is paired with itself is when one side is incused. What happens in that case is that a token gets stamped, but sticks to the other die and does not get ejected. So when the next blank enters to be stamped, it gets stamped between die 29315 and the "stuck" token, which has the image formed from die 29315 facing the blank. Upon striking, the "stuck" token will create an incuse image of die 29315.</p><p><br /></p><p>George, while the 5 ebay references do have the same die pairing, 2 of them are brass, which would have a different id number from the copper varieties, and possibly a different rarity rating. They do update rarity ratings as more information becomes known, as well as city corrections/additions and other information. Most of those updates don't become widely known until the next book is published, which can take years or decades.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
