Message:: [QUOTE="DoubleDie, post: 1188231, member: 10132"]An error is an abnormal and unacceptable occurrence, according to the US Mint's tolerances and allowances for normal US Coins, that happens to a an unstruck planchet or struck coin, and can included any object that's struck by a coin die i.e a feeder finger being struck by a coin die.  A variety is a change made to the coin series design, and most generally under the authorization of the US Mint, but not exclusively on purpose. A mint error/variety is a change in the coins design, that accidentally occurs, during the creation of the dies i.e. a doubled die, repunched mint mark, etc. I feel there must be three classifications for this Numismatic area because there's enough distinction to label them as such.[/QUOTE]
