<p>[QUOTE="Beardigger, post: 8198145, member: 104605"]Varieties are more an exception then the rule. The mint has quality control, but sometimes things get through. As I understand it, there is a difference between errors and varieties. An error would be like a doubled die. A variety would be a grease filled die, or a die chip. The line is kind of blurry depending on who you talk to. Some people consider anything that came out of the mint not perfect to be an error, others disagree. Some people feel a die chip or a greaser is an error, others don't.</p><p>But to answer your question, there were many years without varieties. The mint made more good quality coins, than errors or varieties.</p><p>There are new varieties being found (even on older coins), but to get them recognized as such is a complicated road.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
