Welcome to the 15th edition of the US error coin guide, Variety Edition. This book is an addendum to the US Error Coin Guide 2025. New additions and error values are added on an annual basis from auctions we attend. The information in this guide is based on 60 years of coin collecting experience, authoring articles for coin magazines, associations with numismatic organizations, and research from PCGS, NGC, the US Mint, and the US Treasury. There are some coin varieties that have significant value and others that have little or no added value. The number minted and type of variation contribute to the value of the coin, but most variations have no validated mintages, so collectors must rely on commonality and availability to determine the rarity. A variety coin is deemed to be a coin minted using different dies, altered dies, or a damaged die. Variations occur when an alternate die with different details is used accidentally or intentionally. Mint workers can create varieties by altering the details on a die. A die can become damaged, and if it produces coins with the exact same flaw, a variety is created.
