As I said at https://goccf.com/t/153851 , it is REALLY hard to find both an Obverse Brockage and a Reverse Brockage of the same coin type. Here is another example (both are George III shillings, 1816-1820 type) -

Amazing coins. How long did it take you searching to pair them up?

Thank you.
The Reverse Brockage came along about 5 years after the Obverse one.

What a great pair! It's amazing that both have that same look. Both have a larger diameter than normal, correct? So they're both broadstruck?
Do you have any from India? It seems that they are relatively common, at least those of the obverse. I haven't seen a brockage of the reverse on an Indian coin, though I don't look for them.
You're a very patient person. Congratulations.

Yes, both shillings are somewhat broadstruck. You are right! Many Obverse Rupee Brockages of British India have been showing up on ebay. Be careful, as some collectors in India say that some of these are fakes, made in the last 5 years or so. (I used to have seven Brockage Pair of that country (silver and copper types), but they went when I sold my collection. Thanks for asking). Regards, Bill |

I guess I haven't taken a close look, but the British India brockages that I have seen have been good from a glance. |

Hi Serial, A genuine obverse Brockage, with a beautiful incuse side, in my opinion  . The green spots on the raised side hurt its value a bit, so my guess is that it should bring $60 to $75 US dollars. Bill |

Those last two don't look good at all. Fakes...

The Victoria, with its porous surfaces, is, sadly, a fake.

Indeed, these are not only fake coins, but fake brockages (that is to say, *forced* brockages rather than accidental) as well, manufactured in mainland China.
