  When I saw the description, I was guessing that you had the Broas Pie Bakers. I've got one with the same clash, but with the obverse and reverse of the same design. I wonder if after the obverse die was busted, they used two reverse dies.

  Very cool!

  New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
