<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Searcher64, post: 1890094, member: 21828&quot;]According to the &quot;The Official American Numismatic Association Grading Standards for United States Coins&quot; on page 346; Clash marks are impressions of the designs of the obverse and the reverse onto&nbsp; a coin. This is damage, and is caused when the striking dies impact each other with great force without an intervening planchet. Then the damaged dies, then transfer the results to the next planchet. On page 351; A variety is a minor change, or die difference, within a basic type design of a coin&#039;s die surface.&nbsp; When the defective dies are found, they are repaired or replaced. I hope this helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
