	Frequently Asked Questions (pg. 1) - Coin World
		Filled die errors are known on every series and denomination of coin ever struck by the U.S. Mint – from the very first large cent to the State Quarters being struck today.

		Proof coins are made differently from other coins and are graded differently as well.
