Here are four varieties I have come across.

1) *Picture 1* Die chips? lead to "bold husks" on the left and or right of the corn stalks. If strong enough (like this one), it may look like an extra leaf.

2) * pic 2 and 3* An irregularity in the streaking on the cabin walls makes it look as if wood or ice, etc. has pierced the cabin window-frame. It is more dramatic than the picture shows, but it's somewhat close.

3) *pic 4* A strange wave pattern in the right side of the window frame, partially going into R2 and 3.

4) *pics 5,6,7* I am most intrigued with this one. It appears that the pump has doubled. It's not a "reverse pump", as this is the top cylinder that has two images. Not the Pump reflection either, as that's higher up and this is faint. I called it a "ghost pump", because its faint after-image can be seen to the right of it. I am aware a weak semblance to the cylinders can be found sometimes, but in this one (bad lighting and all), it really looks like it is different.

Please feel free to comment on what may have caused these, if you have seen them before (I have seen #1 before many times, but I encountered these "bold husks" at a rate of about 15%! And yes, I know it's only worth 1/4 a dollar until sold, but are these worth a premium? I've never seen these, but even just saying, "that's odd enough to be worth something to someone" might help me out!

I mean, I am sure I could fish for someone buying one of these (or some lesser varieties I have) on ebay for a lot, but I don't want to do that unless I know or have good reason to think these are varieties. I won't throw them to circulation, if experts here think they're unique/odd enough to grade or hold on to, it will help me decide too.

Thanks!

I believe the first two are results of die chips.

Oh, sorry for calling them errors in the title, as they're varieties (by most people's preference). Also, The ice/wood piercing the window could have been photographed better, as could the "Ghost pump". If it is interesting enough, I can retake some better ones. And the "bold husks" to which I referred in another post can occur on the left side too. Usually they do occur on both sides concurrently, but they don't have a vein down the middle (like the first picture) that makes it look like a leaf. Here is an example someone else posted about picture 1.

Notice there is no vein. I have about 12-15 of the kind in the link above, and I'd bet that there is another one exactly like it on the other side. I'd be willing to show more "normal" examples of this one too if there is interest.

No need to apologize for terms. Some consider die chip, cracks, etc., minor errors (Such as James Wiles) while others such as me (or Bill Fivaz) consider them as (usually minor) varieties. Most are referred to as "markers" when found in association with other more important varieties. I figure one can call them what they like but it's hard for me to call a die chip and error when it is the natural by-product of die use while referring to a doubled die a variety which is actually a mistake on the die created during its production due to mishap.
