What is the difference between plugged, filled and accumulation? I found this 1962 nickel with a plugged?, filled?, accumulation? on the A. Is this called an error? (vs variety). Do these types of things have any additional value? Thanks for your guidance.

Accumulation is a die deterioration resulting from many die chips.

Plugged is a die chip located in letter.

Filled is a term related to accumulation of dirt and grease into small die cavities such as letters.
Can be remove during die maintenance. So it's not permanent.

What you have is a Die Chip that does not add any value.
