Alan Pillar of the Community Canada 1463 Posts	Posted 06/20/2016 2:49 pm I think a variety has to do with a device, or abnormality due punching and or hubbing, 1926 far near 6, the myriad of 1859 penny varieties etc. while error is due to the strike itself or a preexisting problem with the planchet? STrike through double strike, off centre etc I'd call this an error? Either or, it wasn't intentional Report this Post to the Staff

What exactly do you call die cracks, over polished dies, Die Deterioration, die burn, peeling of the chrome plating or die clashes? From the CCF glossary die state A readily identified point in the life of a coinage die. Often dies clash and are polished, crack, break, etc., resulting in different stages of the die. These are called die states. Some coins have barely distinguishable die states, while others go through multiple distinctive ones. Report this Post to the Staff

Second, the 1938 five cents is very hard to come by in AU condition, I was at a coin show with 20+ dealers and only one dealer had a 1938 in EF-40 which I purchased. Third, we have to see a photo of said coin to really be able to give you a response. Report this Post to the Staff
Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5400 Posts	Posted 06/20/2016 4:40 pm There are currently 622 ICCS certified examples in AU50 or better as of the 2016 ICCS POP Report. 458 of these are MS 60 or better examples. Due to the way the 1938 five cents were struck , many concave and weakly struck examples exist. Lustre is usually somewhat lacklustre , but examples do exist with a somewhat polished bright prooflike look. Strike is a big problem with this issue. Fully struck obverse coins in 64 or better probably do not exist. Report this Post to the Staff

Thank you, now I understand what is meant by "glow in front of the king". Report this Post to the Staff
