okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5593 Posts	Posted 02/21/2015 04:23 am Die cracks and die clashes ARE "die states" and not varieties. In many cases, die cracks and clashes will drop a coin's value. They are just a sign of poorly operating machinery or dies preparing to fail and are entirely unintentioanl from the mint..

Everest Pillar of the Community Taiwan 606 Posts	Posted 02/21/2015 05:31 am Okiecoiner: I agree with you completely. This is one of my pet peeves as people will use the term variety when it is actually a "Die state" I have seen this occur in reference material and auction catalogs. Thank you for the brief and to the point explanation. Report this Post to the Staff

The real varieties in Canadian coins are few and far between for sure. I guess people will collect anything. That said the different obverses on Victoria are truly varieties.

Cassidy77 Pillar of the Community Canada 541 Posts	Posted 02/21/2015 10:44 am the nomenclature of coin errors can be confusing....i just bought a Landon coin which I havent yet received and apparantly it has double and triple dating which is a good part of the reason I bought it.....this technically wouldnt be considered a variety but a die error however many collectors consider this type of die problem on a par with an actual variety so I dont understand the inconsistancy of the Pro Grading companies in describing this error on their coins......Some die errors get more respect than others and you only have to look to the USA to see that certain coins such as the 1955 DD cent get a huge premium for this error..in MS 65 its worth 5,000 and many Indian Head cents get huge premiums for DD types so why cant Canadian coins receive similar treatment? ICCS seems very inconsistant on this..... Report this Post to the Staff
Everest Pillar of the Community Taiwan 606 Posts	Posted 02/21/2015 11:21 am Although I do not collect Victorian large cents, I do appreciate the passion and knowledge that Large cent collectors share on this forum. Whether Die states or Varieties this series offers something for everyone. There have been some great references written over the past few decades, most recently Rob Turner's superb work. It sure must have been a treat to view these pristine coins in person. Report this Post to the Staff

Especailly if the auction draws in the non collecting general public and there's something else besides the coins that's collectible where the beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Example: I went to a State Treasurer's auction where the State Treasurer was selling abandoned property. There was a large amount of jewelry. Now most of it was costume but there were about five to ten ladies that all wanted it bad. This was sold in between the coins that literally went to the stars. What would you pay for a U.S.A. 1969 Proof Set. It is common and you can buy them at any show in America or Canada for $5.00 USD. Only this one at this auction went for an unbelievable $90.00 USD and that was just last year! Report this Post to the Staff
