All,
Attached is a fake double brockage of an 1829 bust half, ex-ebay Nov.2003.
The consignor stated that it was excavated at a Civil War site in Winchester
Virginia, and I had no reason to disbelieve him. It appears to have been made
from pewter or some other soft metal.

My belief is that these fake brockages were another form of counterfeiting
that seems to have been somewhat common during the mid-19th century-- since
blank large cent planchets (and other useless coppers such as the VT RR-35) were
readily available during this time period, "entrepeneurs" could squeeze the
blanks between two real coins, thereby creating something that could circulate--
their reasoning being that uneducated or illiterate people wouldn't be able to
tell the difference, or wouldn't care. I'll post another example later
tonight after I work it up.
