[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 2772286, member: 19165"]When you say errors, are you talking about striking errors like broadstrikes and off-centers? Or are you referring to varieties like DDO and DDR? I don't generally see a whole lot of foreign errors for sale. US collectors love these things, but they aren't widely collected for foreign coins. World Varieties, however, are generally met with a strong apathy from non-US collectors. Generally, they don't give two rips about these minute differences. I've talked to some foreign collectors who actually mocked US collectors for their focus on these trivial things - their biggest scorn was for VAMs. I believe that really major, significant varieties garner some interest, but nowhere near what a US coin would (and really, I think a lot of the interest in these varieties is from US collectors of foreign coins). So, no, there isn't a reference for this. You'll find some scattered articles in journals about some major varieties, and a specialist resource might mention some of the big ones, but for the most part there isn't interest.[/QUOTE]
