[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 183663, member: 112"]It's really a matter of defintions - an error is a mistake, a variety is just an example of the coin that is slightly different from the majority of the others. For example, if Conder is correct and the reason the letter or digit appears to be missing is because the die was worn and the frosted effect is not there, or because the devices in the die were never frosted completely to begin with - then it's a variety. But if I were correct in my explanation, that a bit of grease got on the die and stopped the frosted effect from being transferred to the coin, then it would be an error. But it would be a very minor error.[/QUOTE]
