General Varieties/Errors

Varieties - this is where they use a different die for the same coin so there is a slight difference in the design.
Cud- this is where a piece breaks off a die and the metal flows into the hole that was left from the chip.
Rim cud- same as a cud except it happens on the rim of the coin so there's a raised up section.
Die crack- this is where the die gets a crack and the metal flows into the crack leaving a slightly raised section but must be raised off the surface of the coin.
Rotation- this is where one of the dies rotates around so the obverse and the reverse do not line up properly.
Lamination- this is where there is a fault in the planchet (the blank coin) and it looks like the coins is split or has a flaking appearance.
Partial Collar Errors - coins where the collar has not engaged properly and the coin has a "railroad" rim
Broadstrikes - coin struck out of collar and out of alignment but all the design is present
Off-Center Strikes - coins struck out of collar and out of alignment but some of the design is missing
