My interest is in variations. I presume that sometimes when a die is changed there is a slight difference and that gives us a 'run' of a certain number of variations till that die is replaced. So I have looked for the missing roo leg. I collect 40 of each coin of each year and in my 2016 dollars there are no missing legs. In 2015 I have found 4. Without checking other years - I ask - have they been found in other years? If so then I would assume it is a light strike. If it is only in the one year - then it may be a variation.

All of which still means - I don't collect them and don't want it.

Quote from: 'Goldseeker' pid='102850' dateline='1481882343'I have found well over 200 of this type of "error" in my collection.

Which is about as many as the mules you found, right?

And they're not "errors", they're Flaws. Errors are repeatable, these are unique. :angel:

Actually I have found 3 dollar mules - so far. In fact it was when one of my staff told me about the mules and I went home to find one in my drawer - that started me collecting decimal coin variations. There are enough of them around without collecting errors and flaws.

If anyone collects these kinds of errors, feel free to contact me. I don't want it. It is 1984[attachment=3584]
