<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IanC, post: 3340594, member: 97706&quot;]The first one has a die chip. The second one may be an off-center strike (I can&#039;t see the rest of the coin), but if the entire coin appears &quot;moved,&quot; that may be what it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>A variety is a difference in the actual die before the coins are struck. Generally, these are intentional. As an example, for Liberty Head Nickels, the original ones did not say &quot;Cents.&quot; This ended up being an issue when people were pretending these were $5 coins, so they added &quot;Cents.&quot; These are two different varieties.</p><p><br /></p><p>Errors are unintentional and are problems caused during striking, such as a die crack, chip, etc. or something like a DDO, where the obverse of the coin was accidentally struck with a die which was doubled. DDO = Doubled Die Obverse[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
