I picked die rotations. I don't like Cuds either.

A rather specialized vote in my case.
The Australian 1923 Halfpenny can help to be authenticated with die crack characteristics.
Only about 15,000 of them were struck, and perhaps two thirds of them show evidence of die cracking.

I voted for both DDO and DDR, but Die cracks, RPDs and misplaced digits also intrigue me. Even more I like Cuds, capped dies, and off center and double/triple strikes, though in my favorite series the 2¢ pieces those last few will cost a ton of money, capped dies around $30K Off center strikes around $7K+ and big Cuds are into the $1K and up ranges, out of my league - until I win the Powerball that is!

Although I picked Doubled Dies, I have an extensive collection of die rotations.

Where is "None of the above?"

I am not an error collector, but the one thing I have always found interesting are clips.

However, that was not an option since it is not a die error.

I am also intrigued by Cuds, so that got my vote in this poll.

I should have said "Variety/Error" collector, which is what I meant. However, I do collect the varieties/errors that Dansco thinks I need to collect. That cursed 1922-D "Plain" being the biggest "Why oh why did you have to do this to me, Dansco?"

I like the double die for either side, they are obvious. Especially if it is not too subtle.
