Very helpful information! now I'm learning something.
A big Thank You to errers and varietys for the lesson.

Yes, this is a great topic to garner a better understanding of how a die wears.

Not much getting posted. This is a live listing of mine with a vlds Jefferson nickel

Ok first off I agree with the comments, this information is awesome!. I have been collecting for at least 20yrs, and there was a lot of off time during that. Searching for error/variety coins takes a good eye, clear pictures for identification and specifically a sound knowledge base. I consider myself still to be a novice collector after all this time due to the knowledge base. I can identify a lot however due to my limited knowledge of how dies work I also get tripped up thinking I have a winner. It is a time saver if you have a clear picture of what to look for and what Errers has posted here will guide the hunt. Keeping us more so away from the let down after posting "wanna be" pics of throw away coins. Having said that I am a firm believer of posting the questionable but maybe this education can save the novice more time for a good hunt.

Om goodness, that is by far, hands down, second to none, outstanding, groovy, coolest post I've seen about the subject. I am in awe and a rookie so there you go. Great job my man I'll be following you everywhere, LOL

Excuse me but isn't this my post LOL just kidding very nice that told me so much that I didn't know you guys rock out here

Awesome info! Thank you everyone.
