<p>[QUOTE="Neal, post: 26214715, member: 43872"]I think of them as errors because the mint certainly did not intend for them to look that way. They got that way by mistake. That's an error. The fact that all subsequent coins made with that die will look like that doesn't change it in my view. As for those Morgan VAMs caused by die clashes and Bugs Bunny halves, sure, they are errors, but if some want to call them varieties, well, it's a free country and they are welcome to their terminology. Compare it to paper currency printed with one plate upside down. Would that be an error? Yes, in my opinion, even though there may be hundreds of them printed and issued before it is discovered. Or look at stamps. The early "upside-down airplane" certainly was an error. So was the similar Dag Hammarskjöld stamp misprint, but not the millions they printed later intentionally with the same "error."[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
