Two(2) piece set Brockage Mated Pair 1997 Hobo token
Mated pair struck in the following order:
1 - regular strike, however this strike fails to eject and remains in the coining collar2 - new blank enters coining collar and is struck with previous strike still in the chamber
The new struck piece will have one image that is the correct die on one side and a mirror image strike on the back, as the previous struck coin acts as a die.
This pair is different from regular sets because the blanks are actually US Mint Nickels, so the unertype also can be found. There is a lot of metal moving when two blanks strike rather than one, so it is a little more difficult to find on this pair in particular.
