<p>[QUOTE="beef1020, post: 2400838, member: 24544"]The idea behind varieties, for both large cents and Morgan dollars, although they exist for all coins, is that a variety simply IDs a specific pairing of obverse and reverse dies. So in that sense the answer to your question is no, there are in general no combined varieties across different denominations. I say in general because there are cases where the wrong planchet was used in a set of dies, i.e. a dime planchet struck with cent dies, but most would consider that a straight error, not a new variety.</p><p><br /></p><p>A broader interpretation of your question is, are there common design elements across denominations. For instance, the letter and number punches were often used on multiple denominations of coins. So a $10 gold and a large cent could both have the same exact punch used for the letter T, or some other design element. This does not however make them combined varieties.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
