Re: what is this error? Double 9 or die clash?

two more errors/varieties

Found this on the same coin. One side looks like a die crack on the leaf and the other side has some lines on the beads. Any thoughts? Still trying to wrap my brain around the error or variety thing. What would these be considered? Thanks in advance. http://www.coinsandcanada.com/forum/class/test/IM...

what is this error? Double 9 or die clash?

Re: whats the differance between and error and variety

So what would cause this and would it be considered and error or variety? This part of the coin is missing beads and the letters are "faded".
