wabnoles Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I bought a Peruvian sol from the coin show and it wasn't until upon closer inspection I noticed something. I noticed that the "S" in sol is a little misaligned. I had a poket scale I used when I was there and I took it out of the protector and weighed it alone later and it was exactly 25 grams in weight so I am confident its a real coin. Would this be considered a minor error? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccg Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 This would be a die variety rather than an error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccg Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Thanks. Would there be a way to determine if something is a die variety rather than an error? A die variety has to do with the die - basically any coin struck from a die that varies in some way from the "norm". Errors, on the other hand, are situational, are are based on some random fault, be it from striking, or a problem with the planchet (bad annealing, wrong size/type, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
