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 P RPM 30 nickel

    I see that this date/ mintmark combination has over 70 RPM's to look for! I believe I have found RPM # 30 and am posting pictures of my coin (photo 1) and the VV example (photo 2). I put the 2 photos in Paint.net & like the comparison. The bottom of the coin and top right areas match nicely but my coin has some crud on top left comparison area. Is this enough visual evidence to add the coin to the collection?

    Take a toothpick and rub this area. If that is a top serif, then the RPM is a South. 1943-P-rpm30-my-coin_Coneca.jpg

      Thanks for the tip on using a tooth pick to knock crud off a mint mark. It worked great & did not damage the coin. I have tried using a Q-tip but it does not work well. Sadly I did not find what I was hoping for under the dirt but am happy to learn a new trick.
      Years ago I went after dirt on a coin with a dental pick. This of course had disasterous result for the coin!
