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

    1943 - S Mercury Dime, Trumpet Tail Mintmark Variety?

    I think this might be a Trumpet Tail Mintmark Variety FS-10-1943S-511. The mint state isn't great but I am seeing the top serif of the S as pointed downward and the lower serif rounded even in the worn down condition. Wanting other opinions on this.

    Hello Jess,
    I've got to admit, I looked at Cherrypicker's guide 4th addition, My most recent copy, the photo there is a BU but doesn't show the important parts of the mintmark to me, then I went to VV and looked at Dr. Wiles's MM-004 example and it's more circulated with damage then the coin you have above. I then went to my copy of Walter Breen's book to see if there was anything there. Nope. Not even a reference. I'm sorry I won't comment, mainly because I'm not completely sure.
    Happy Holidays
    Eric
