<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jazzcoins, post: 502323, member: 15709&quot;]I could understand why some would but them in a class of a variety. if you do want to get technical. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have two 2000 Roservelt dimes that are die clashes one has more incused images notice on the reverse of the obverse then the other.. One of them has some incused letters of liberty LIB were the other one has nothing of the sort except parts of the outline of the neck area (<span style="color: red"> A DIFFERENT VARETY I Would SAY IF YOU WANT TO BE TECHNICAL </span><span style="color: black">) I don&#039;t think all experts look at them as varieties you would think that would be the correct terminolgy, what I explained with the two rosies I have . TWO DIFFERENT VARIETIES. </span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: blue">Definition of die varities</span></p><p><span style="color: #0000ff">A die variety is any variation in the normal design of a given coin, caused by errors in the preparation or maintence of the coin dies. Tyypical die varieties include doubled dies, repunched mint marks and dates in the placement or alignment of mintmarks,letters and numbers,devices etc&nbsp; (<span style="color: red">changes to the die surfaces from over polisheng of die clashes</span> )_ ,and NUMBER OF OTHER MINOR VARIETIES IN THE FINALE STRIKE OF THE COIN </span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: darkred">One must be very careful not to confuse die varieties with error coins which have varieties in there appearance as a result of the manufacturing process itself, such as off center strikes,wrong planshets types,planchet preparation mistakes etc </span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black">I do understand what Conder means it does make more sense ,but I think the proper terminolgy would be varities instead of any other terminolgy used including errors.just my opinon on that ,and I would say this subject is a matter of opinion.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Jazzcoins Joe[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
