<p>[QUOTE="1865King, post: 5483258, member: 103207"]Here some information on coin varieties & errors. What I'm about to write may not make some people happy but, it's something to think about. To start with the 1937-D buffalo nickel 3 legs. This coin is not an error or variety, it's simply an over polished die, nothing more. This coin was hyped up when someone noticed it. I've seen a number of other coins that were over polished and lost details but because they weren't hyped no one cares. What would be interesting is to find a nickel that was struck with the same dies before it was polished. The same can be said for the 1807 large cent comet variety. It's interesting but, again a damaged die. BTW I have an early die state 1807 large cent before the comet showed up. Same dies no comet (break). The same can be said about the 1920 no D Lincoln cent. I'm not saying their not interesting but, the only error was putting them back in service. I wouldn't classify an overdate as damage. They aren't errors either. In most cases that was done to keep a good die in service or cover up a minor die sinker error. Dies were hard to make in the 17 and 1800's so tossing a still usable die is expensive. This is why we see a lot of coins from 17 and 1800's with major die cracks. All of these coins can be interesting and some can demand more money to purchase them but, try to keep in mind what your actually buying.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
