mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2952 Posts	Posted 10/22/2023 11:01 pm What you have there is a major clashed die on the reverse, and also has a major shattered die on both sides hence all those die cracks... So yes, a major error you have there, and I'm sure others will chime in also Report this Post to the Staff

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4415 Posts	Posted 10/23/2023 07:16 am Having collected CWT's and particularly those from NY for the past sixty years, to my experience, these clashed die Broas pie tokens are fairly common. There are currently a half dozen or so over-priced specimens, languishing on ebay. Token dealers at shows often have these in stock at much lower prices, too. This major striking error, although common to this merchant's tokens, doesn't typically command BIG BUCKS. This particular merchant issued many thousands of tokens. IMHO. the OP's token might well slab MS-63 and then be worth $150-$200, my guesstimate. There are a great many errors to be had in the CWT series, and this issue, common as it is, is perhaps the strongest of the clashed die errors. Great pick-up at the price paid!
