<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2773001, member: 112&quot;]First of all, I am NOT trying to start up the age old argument, but I would call that variety, not an error. </p><p><br /></p><p>As mentioned near the top on the site linked by paddyman - <a href="http://www.coinsgb.com/Error_Coins/Error_coins.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinsgb.com/Error_Coins/Error_coins.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinsgb.com/Error_Coins/Error_coins.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Blank planchets, clipped, brockages, die caps, etc etc - those are errors, or at least what I would call errors. But that double or triple (whatever it is) punching of that letter on your coin - that&#039;s what I&#039;d call a variety.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not that it matters really what you call it, but I think it is an interesting distinction how people use their own definitions for words when they describe something. Here&#039;s why. In the book that I mentioned above, there are literally hundreds and hundreds of varieties listed, but they are all similar, in nature anyway, to what your coin has on it. </p><p><br /></p><p>So if you call them errors, and I call them varieties, and you were looking for a book on errors for those coins - you&#039;d completely miss that book as a reference - because I call them varieties. And the whole time that book would have exactly what you were looking for !</p><p><br /></p><p>So do ya see my point ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
