These two coins, with their very high shoulders, have puzzled me for some time:

The 10 centavo -

Brazil,--Diecap-Like-Coins

Brazil,--Diecap-Like-Coins


and the 50 -

Brazil,--Diecap-Like-Coins

Brazil,--Diecap-Like-Coins

Thanks Mike.

It is the fact that all three coins are spread laterally (possibly under the collar), beyond the raised "shoulder" (which has moved up along the sides of a die), that had me confused.

When they spread out this far and form into a cap. They must have been stuck to the upper die for more than one strike. Yours appears as if they have.

Isn't it unusual that Bill's coins have the reverse design on both sides?

Both appear to be partial collar errors that have an early-stage brockage of the reverse design on the obverse face. There's no definitive evidence of more than one strike.
