Message:: [QUOTE="kanga, post: 24576378, member: 9270"]Since my current interest area is half cents and large cents, I differentiate between varieties and types. For me, types involve intentional design changes.Varieties involve the same design but with unintentional, generally minor, differences in design. An example in the Seated Liberty quarters are the Drapery/No Drapery changes in 1840.They were intentional design changes, hence (to me) different types.(The Red Book doesn't give then any labels except Drapery/No Drapery.) And by my definition Arrows/No Arrows were intentional design changes, hence types.Same thing with Rays/No Rays. Different types. Bottom line, call then types or varieties, I've got one of each for my type set.[/QUOTE]
