<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 2578098, member: 21705&quot;]Errors and mistakes come in at every point from the making of the hub to the transference of the hub to the individual dies to the striking of the coin to post mint handling.</p><p><br /></p><p>Die varieties are simply the limitation of variation in the dies. If there is more than one hub used for a particular year, then it is grouped together as similar dies. But each die, though similar at the start, can either be identified by faults or mistakes in the making of the die or by breaks&nbsp; during it&#039;s use. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sure not every die is identifiable with as many as were made from these hubs, but cracks are unique to the die and not the hub and thus die varieties. If mistakes occur during the striking process, they are errors. If they are damages after leaving the mint, they are PMD.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now whether they are significant for purposes of drawing a premium, that is out of my purview. I&#039;m a collector and numismatist, not a salesman.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
