<p>[QUOTE=&quot;alurid, post: 25159460, member: 81991&quot;]I think the collector is the one that denotes what is an Error Coin.</p><p>Mint errors have three categories , Planchet, Die and Striking. A Blank or planchet is considered an error only because it should not have left the mint as a blank.</p><p>Post 1982 LMC planchets are not made at the mint, so can you still call them </p><p>Mint Errors when they have a defect? If the clad metal used to make Dimes and Quarters is not made at the mint and it has a defective layer do those coins made with it become Errors only because they should not have left the mint or only&nbsp; </p><p>because someone can make money by selling them as such? </p><p>I get to decide what I do and do not collect, I have to use what I understand about the minting process and the mint itself to decide what is what. It is easy to get one put over on you because some people use coin collecting as a money making business. I do not think a Defect and an Error are always the same thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Some varieties are caused by errors and some are caused by design changes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
