    Clashed 1863 Tokens

    First is Broas Pie Baker, 41st street NY
    (NY 630M-6ao) with shattered dies and clash marks on the reverse. Seems to me I have seen examples where the clash on the reverse is clearer; I have also seen examples struck in lead. A neat coin and often available on eBay:

    Second is also from Broas Pie Baker, 41st street NY (NY630M-12ao). This has two reverses paired up where one shows multiple heavy clashes with a previous pairing with the Indian head obverse. I count 2-3 rotated clashes. Some of the clash marks I do not understand - the design is just buried under them. I have seen other examples also for sale on eBay. It is listed as being an 1863 (the reverse pairs here are not the same shattered die as the above example) so I am not sure how the conclusion was made:

      Final example, 1863 C. Doscher, 241 Washington St., NY (NY630V-7a1 & F-630V-7A). This example shows large CUDs on the obverse, slight clash marks of the wreath and a heavy clash mark of the portrait and slight marks from the date:

          Here is a complete overlay diagram for the second 1863 with both reverse pairings illustrating each clash: the first (or last to occur) is the current pairing showing a rotated clash of the CO of COUNTRY; second is the deeper clash marks of the Indian head, shown are the H and tip of the headdress strongly rotated; last is the lighter clash of the Indian head and the H and chin are identified, the rotation is less, but this clash was slightly misaligned. These will be added to a new Clashed Token section on Maddieclashes.com.
          This is one amazing example...
