hans g Valued Member Australia 102 Posts	Posted 06/21/2017 11:59 pm Not sure if this response is too late being some 2.5 years since the last post, but as I am collecting varieties (20cents at present)could anyone comment on whether these gap years, particularly the small gaps, are varieties or not? Some of the pics look like they could be grease filled or worn dies. If so I would regard them as errors, not varieties. Anyone? Hans Report this Post to the Staff

With the coins I have, the strike nearly always appears pretty soft, so I have assumed either worn or filled die. My opinion could be changed of course if anyone has a coin with a really sharp strike and nice clear edges of the devices causing the gap. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff

Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 11/29/2017 6:47 pm Well I'm a lover of error coins, but I wouldn't pay for any of these. Mind you, that's just my preference as they are usually fairly easy to find in circulation if you're really keen to have them. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff

The 1966 is definitely a deliberate design change (it is the mintmark) and I suspect the 2008 is also deliberate (2008 Wedding Set 20c pieces are low mintage anf have the gap so in that case it is unlikely to be die fill - probably some Wedding Set dies got used for standard circulation issues).
