<p>[QUOTE=&quot;davidh, post: 443089, member: 15062&quot;]To muddy the waters from people who (should) know what they&#039;re talking about; these are PCGS&#039;s definitions:</p><p><br /></p><p><b>variety</b> - </p><p>A coin of the same date and basic design as another but with slight differences. PCGS recognizes all major varieties while there are thousands of minor varieties, most of which have significance only to specialists of the particular series. After hubbed dies, introduced in the 1840s, varieties are mainly variations in date and mintmark size and placement.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>error</b> - </p><p>A numismatic item that unintentionally varies from the norm. Ordinarily, overdates are not errors since they were done intentionally while other die-cutting “mistakes” are considered errors. Double dies, planchet clips, off-metal strikings, etc. also are errors.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Given these definitions, I think the 1844/81 qualifies as an Error since it was a die cutting (date stamping) mistake[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
