Here's a very eye catching "baseball error" coin.
How common are these?

I'm not sure how common they are but I've never seen one - pretty cool
Sometimes I think that animals are smarter than humans, animals would never allow the dumbest one to lead the pack
Would be considered a Saddle Double Strike.
I'm surprised that no one has posted that this is not a coin. It's a token.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
Nice!
@PerryHall .....
By Jove you are right!!!!

I like it !!!
You just did... somewhat passive aggressively.
But correctly.
Well, this did increase the response rate by 100%

How common? Fairly common. Just as a coin error carries more value with a date trade token errors are more valuable with the city/state on the piece. That said, recently I had a very similar aluminum error from Grand Island, Nebraska and another from Platte, South Dakota sit in my bourse case for 2+ years through FUN Shows, ANA, CSNS, NTCA, and smaller shows priced at $15 with no takers. They didn't even make that when listed on eBay.
Die sinkers varied in quality but most of them sent out surprisingly clean trade token orders. Most of the error trade tokens stayed in-shop thrown into discard and melt buckets. Similar to most off-metal and many unc Civil War tokens I"m sure a number went out the back door though probably as pocket pieces rather than as struck to order tokens.
From the look of things................somebody threw that token a curve.

Should appeal to a baseball fan. I like it.
Common or not, it surely looks cool.
I’m not sure that this is a true saddle strike. Can we tell that both strikes occurred simultaneously? Would that type of press even be used for striking these types of tokens?
Highly doubtful, especially for a trade token of that style and era.
