<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ziggy9, post: 1111398, member: 8360&quot;]What you call imperfections are actually already divided into thre sub-catagories. Errors, Varieties, and post mint damage. there are further sub-catagories for each if these. </p><p><br /></p><p>Varieties include catagories such as Doubled Dies, Close and Wide AM&#039;s, and virtually anything outside the normal that shows on ALL coins pof a specific die pair.</p><p><br /></p><p>Errors would include most of what you have listed. Die Cracks, filled dies, dropped letters, clipped planchet, wrong planchet, etc., virtually anything that occurs at the mint to just one or a small percent of the coins created by a die pair.</p><p><br /></p><p>Post Mint Damage has a sub-catagory i call &quot;Who cares&quot;. It didn&#039;t happen in the minting process and is not nimismatically significant.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are people who collect only clipped planchets or only off center coins or any of the other possible errors and they consider that to be their catagory of collecting.</p><p><br /></p><p>Richard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
