<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 442880, member: 12965&quot;]In the case of the OP coin, that was not the case. The die maker started work that day, before he sobered up from the night before, and started punching in the date upsidedown. While the die could have been tossed into a pile and later they decided to punch over the error, it was an error and they clearly didn&#039;t know what they were doing when they did it. The 1916 Doubled Die Buffalo was another case where it has been shown that new employees at the mint created the error, due to inexperience. Also, when making a die for a 1 cent coin, don&#039;t you think your definition above is off-center when it comes to the 1/000 error fraction varieties? For that to be &quot;premeditated&quot; it would mean there are idiots performing the function of die maker at our mints and I doubt that was the case.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There are different types of errors and in this case, it&#039;s a die maker error, and all subsequent coins minted had the error so it&#039;s an Error Variety.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; That&#039;s how I look at it.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
