[QUOTE="lkeigwin, post: 1187121, member: 30400"]Thanks for both "reads", Chris and Thad. Very useful. The one I'm not very clear on is "5. A close AM 1992 cent is actually an error. It's a mule. An unintended design coupled with another design." Why isn't this a variety? It meets the definition of a variety: "An anomaly on a die that is repeated throughout the die's life - from the first coin struck to the last coin struck". "Die errors are problems that occur with the die while it is striking coins. Cuds fall into this group, as do major clashes, overpolishing, etc. They are generally repeated ONLY after they occur."[LEFT][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][/LEFT] I guess the argument is that the die was only used briefly, perhaps as a test for the 1993 cent, so therefore it was a mismatch..a mule. Well, I'm no expect at this stuff but I know some real experts call it a variety. [LEFT][COLOR=#000000]Lance. [/COLOR][/LEFT][/QUOTE]
