Update Error Coins

If you define, "error" as, "deviating from or not meeting the standard expectation" then I reckon any coin that deviates from or does not meet the standard expectation "equally" does not?

Howwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwever, beyond that "benchmark," all errors do not have the same value. A 1955 quintupled die with a weak "P" does not have the same value as a 1955 doubled die, no "P"

How's that for a 5:47 a.m. mouthful?



(my sixth food group (to name a few): popcorn, cigs, coffee, gum, stale brownies)

If you are referring to the 1955 and 1969S doubled dies, those are not errors- they are die varieties. Small die cracks and chips are also not errors since they are an accepted part of the normal minting process. An error would be an off center strike, incomplete(clipped) planchet, split clad layer, cud(large die break on rim), broadstrike, etc since the area of interest was not imparted by details of the die and they are not part of the normal minting process. For more info, search the forum for "die variety" and you will see many threads discussing the subject.
