CONECA focuses on many error and variety specialties, including doubled dies, Repunched mintmarks, multiple errors, clips, double strikes, off-metals and off-centers—just to name a few. In addition to its website, CONECA publishes an educational journal, The Errorscope, which is printed and mailed to members bimonthly.

    1981 D Li"B"erty Question

    Hello. Sorry about all the questions. The question I have today is on the "B" in Liberty. As you can see from the pictures, the long edge of the "B" looks to be in the middle. How does this happen and what would this be called? Thanks again.

    An object has impacted the coin in that area and pushed, plus dented the metal in the B of LIBERTY giving it that appearance. This again is post mint damage.

    The one thing about post mint damage, it is hard to say exactly what has happened, since there are thousnads of varibales to consider.Generally, we can tell what is post mint damage and what is not by the way the coin looks and knowning that it could not happen in the striking chamber. As to the cause once it leaves the mint, we use an educated guess.
