Very simple list of terms and examples...should be very easy to understand:

Type - major design element changes: Liberty nickel, Buffalo nickel, Jefferson nickel, Seated Liberty half dollar, Capped Bust Dime, Washington quarter.

Sub-Type - minor design element changes: With arrows, without arrows, with stars, without stars, mound reverse, plains reverse, wheat reverse, memorial reverse. (metal changes also fit into this category, i.e. - silver vs. clad)

Variety - minor changes in design not generally intended to be noticed: large date, small date, large mintmark, small mintmark, large letters, small letters, large stars, small stars, Wide AM, Close AM. Varieties do NOT change the sub-type.

Die Variety - flaws in die manufacture (usually involve doubling): repunched mintmark, over mintmark, inverted mintmark, doubled die, overdate, repunched date.

Die Error - problems that occur to dies while they are minting coins: overpolishing, clash, Cud, broken die, etc.

Planchet Error - problems with how the planchets were made: Broken planchet, clipped planchet, sintered planchet, wrong planchet, wrong stock, split planchet, unplated planchet, tapered planchet.

Striking Error - problems with the presses while coins are being made: Broadstrike, off-center strike, partial collar strike, brockage, indent, struck-through, etc.

Basically any error that cannot be directly attributed to problems with the die or to manufacture of the planchet is a striking error.

C.C. Is correct. I am mostly referring to die varieties. I left it open to all other comments. Type 2 is a variety from original.
My listed coins are die varieties. I am biased a bit here. However I realize that there are some real tough Full Strike coins (1926s, ect.) that ya might want to place here. 2 feather, clashes, and Unknowns are also welcome. ...Thanx for clarification CC.... gusp
