I'm thinking WDDR-003, but am not sure. The question I'm most interested, however, has to do with how certain kinds (is that the word?) of coins are collected. That is, while a large focus of collecting Lincoln cents and other more modern coinage (Roosevelt dimes, Washing quarters, etc) has to do with "errors", this does not seem to be the case so much with more classic coinage - or am I mistaken in that? Are error coins, for example, generally a focus for the Barber collector as they are for the Lincoln Cent collector? Just curious, as although I have a couple years experience collecting coins, I'm still very much in the novice camp. Report this Post to the Staff

rayof315 Valued Member United States 241 Posts	Posted 07/13/2015 11:14 pm Reading through these interesting posts, I'm feeling like perhaps I asked a stupid question - or at least an uninformed one; but anyway, wondering if there's any thoughts about the attribution. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 07/14/2015 1:37 pm I think what you are to asking about is varieties instead of errors. Yes, some classic series are avidly collected by die varieties such as large cents, Capped Bust half dollars, Seated half dollars, etc. Then, there are some classic series that have been studied and varieties noted however collectors tend to generally overlook/ignore. Or they only focus on the ones listed in the Red Book. One could likely find multiple people putting a Barber dime set together easily---on the other hand, it would be much tougher to find someone collecting by die variety. On your dime, I'm unsure which RPM it is. Here's a link to the Lawrence book https://www.davidlawrence.com/books...ysis/1914-d/ Report this Post to the Staff
