<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cwtokenman, post: 296276, member: 2100&quot;]I like these shattered dies myself. I have perhaps a dozen of the shattered Broas Bros. ones. Actually, the Indian head side is the reverse. The obverse with tokens is the side that has the merchant&#039;s name on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>While the same reverse die was used, the two tokens shown were made with different obverse dies. This is easily seen by the varying distances between the street address and &quot;COUNTRY&quot;. I have cwts from a few other merchants that were made from similarly shattered dies, but they are not as easily found as the Broas Brothers ones.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can not take a picture of high enough quality to show it, but the clashed die shown here occurred more than once. Some of my tokens show a single Indian head imprint, while some others are clearly doubled (and slightly shifted). Tokens can be an error lovers paradise, as many token manufacturers used dies until they were literally unusable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
