<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 1257612, member: 18157&quot;]There is an excellent article on Page 74 of the February 21, 2011 edition of Coin World where they talk about &quot;laser&quot; die varieties. The one they show is on the 2007S Proof John Adams dollar...where the laser texturing is rotated...similar to a Doubled Die.</p><p><br /></p><p>There haven&#039;t been many of them documented, but they&#039;re out there. They&#039;re referred to as &quot;Die Varieties&quot; rather than &quot;Die Errors&quot; because &quot;...the defect arose during die preparation and recognizable design elements are faithfully duplicated.&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>One of the more famous &quot;laser&quot; Die Varieties is the 2007W $100 Platinum Proof...where the word &quot;FREEDOM&quot; was mistakenly frosted when it was supposed to be polished.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since the laser texturing (frosting) technique didn&#039;t see widespread use until 2006, I imagine 2006-2008 would have the greatest number of errors. I&#039;m not sure if that&#039;s what you have, but I would keep it a while if I were you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
