    That's as good an answer as any I've heard . I always thought that one die was annealed wrong with one side being harder the other much softer . But your explanation makes more sense .
    BTW , Love your cent the color and the die cracks . But my old eyes seem to see some clashing too . Am I right ?

    Never thought of the obverse die being harder. That might be why it has so many cracks. I may have to find one of those.
    The cent has a nice clash. That's why I bought it. I think the color is AT but I'm a sucker for a nice clash.

    FYI, there's one of these on eBay for $300 or best offer in MS63 grade, but if you look around, you can find them slabbed uncirculated for well under $100. I wanted one, and found a MS63 RB for $65!

    broas obv die crack.jpg broas rev die crack.jpg I have a dozen or so of the Broas Bros cwts at various stages of deterioration. My examination of those tokens shows that about half of them showed evidence of a second clashing, and one perhaps even a third time.

    Thank you, I bought that in Atlanta early this year. I had to sell a few coins to get that one though. I'm looking for a 1807-1812 facing left with the same look, love the hunt.

    I don't think it's a die crack . These zinc coins had a lot of problems with the plating where bubbles appeared . If you could get a clearer pic it would help us see what it is .
