APB Bronze Hollow w/ Wide Pin

Not sure what you mean by ''recently.'' This one is from late 1999. The one I've posted was described as 'bronze,' but by the darkness of the photo, it's tough to say bronze or gold.

Looks to me like the same mold.

Looks to me like the same mold.

Or is it ''die?'' What's the proper term?

I did find this in my file, from summer 2002. Again, a very similar reverse with the pin bent near the hinge. This one did have traces of gold wash on it.
