<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ziggy9, post: 443031, member: 8360&quot;]To oversimplify this if I may:</p><p><br /></p><p>A variety is anything that happens to every coin struck by a die from the first coin to the last such as Doubled Dies, Repunched Mint Marks, Wide and Close AM. etc. that makes the coins from that die identifiably different from all others produced in that year.</p><p><br /></p><p>An error is the result of something happening to the die during production that causes one or more coins to be different than the coins previously produced by the same die. This can be as simple as an off center strike, die crack, cud, broadstrike, partial collar strike, misaligned die. etc.&nbsp; The things most often miss described are the erroes that are caused by overpolishing. The confusion here is caused by the fact that every coin produced after the polishing will bear the results, as in the Lincoln 22 no D and The 3 Legged Buffalo. These are indeed errors and not varieties.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Have at me</p><p>Richard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
