Quote:In addition to RPMs and doubled dies which
have been collected with a passion for the last 25 years, we anticipate many other types of varieties becoming
popular. Die errors such as broken dies (
Cuds), rotated reverses, and abraded dies will also come under
one umbrella as a part of the new CONECA numbering system. Each will have its own Variety/Type
number. In short, any die variety and/or die error can and eventually will be cataloged. Variety collectors,
regardless of what they collect, will be able to have a unique sequential number assigned to their varieties.
This is an excerpt I found in the Jefferson RPM Nickel Book by Dr. James Wiles. It is this, and the addition of Die Breaks on
On Coins,as announced by our fellow member Mr. B j Neff, that allows me to believe my coin and other interesting types of errors are changing from "barely collectable" to highly collectable with value. I think I'll hang on to this Abraded Die Error.
