I was searching the internet for something else and stumbled on to this. It is an old thread by Chuck from coppercoins, and if you don't know who he is, you won't be collecting very long before you find out.

This is very informative and I think it should be nominated as a sticky at the top of the forum as an intro to varieties and errors. We should be thankful he takes the time to answer our questions. (Not to disrespect some of you other pros whom I have a tremendous amount of respect for).

Edited to add another article written by Chuck on Machine Doubling vs doubled dies (Thanks for the lead jokingjoker!):

How would you like to find one of those errors that he described that sounded like you were in a football huddle:

sub-type, variety, repunched mintmark, off-center struck clipped planchet, doubled die reverse - on 3, break!
