<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 4829396, member: 26302&quot;]Yeah, I couldn&#039;t remember which one error folks yelled at people about. Doubled was in my head, but too many people like to correct grammar on here so I was gun shy saying doubled thinking it was wrong. </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, we can disagree. So you are saying basically anything that happened to the die is a variety, no matter how egregious, is a variety? If someone stamped their initials in it, that is not an error, but errors can ONLY happen in the striking chamber? Just trying to clarify in my mind. </p><p><br /></p><p>I understand things like early large cents, how the mint was tinkering and manually placing things on each die by hand, so we consider these varieties. However, a technician messing up a die so much they remove devices, or transfer from master to working die done so poorly as to make the coin almost unreadable, I don&#039;t see how THAT is a variety. The first was normal part of die preparation, while the later examples are poor workmanship clearly not how they were trained to do it nor what anyone at the mint wanted to happen, (kind of simple language definition of the word &quot;error&quot;).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
