CONECA (pronounced: CŌ´NECA) is a national numismatic organization devoted to the education of error and variety coin collectors. 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. CONECA offers a lending library, examination, listing and attribution services; it holds annual meetings at major conventions (referred to as Errorama) around the country.

CONECA was formed through a merger of CONE and NECA in early 1983. To learn more about the fascinating HISTORY OF THE ERROR HOBBY and THE HISTORY OF CONECA, we encourage you to visit us our main site Here

    1997 D 5c, Possible RPM, Horizontal mint mark?

    I'm excited about this 1997 D 5c! I'm not sure what it would be classified as? Of course its RPM, but would that be completely accurate?

    In my opinion, its not an RPM. They stopped hand punching of the mint marks in the early 1990s. They added the mint mark to the master hub, so the repunched mint marks effectively became extinct after 1989.

    With every working die designed to come out looking the same, this issue should be strike related. Now logically thinking about it, we have to figure out what it is. Its going through the types of errors and things like localized machine damage to figure this out.

    I will attempt to circle back here later.

    I feel pretty confident that Eric @eaxtellcoins may have seen this issue before.
