S.B.A. Wide Rim - ERROR?????

Message:
<p>[QUOTE="Mark Muskovich, post: 4980226, member: 75597"]I was having a discussion with a fellow collector about whether the SBA wide rim was considered an error coin. My viewpoint was that it was a variety and not an error because the change was not a mistake so to speak but a deliberate modification to more than one set of dies. I then reasoned that an error would be a wide rim on either the obverse or reverse side and a narrow rim on the other due to mismatched set of dies.</p><p>I guess my question is whether that is even possible? I'm afraid I never thought much about how coins are actually minted and am not absolutely sure about the process in general. Could there be a S.B.A. coin minted with the wide rim on one side and the narrow rim on the other? And if it is possible, has such an example every been found?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
