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 52 nickel

    I'm happy to confidently submit pictures for a favorable comparison to Variety Vista 1943 P RPM 52. With much help from "Mint Errors" I made a great comparison using paint.net and its a winner! Thanks so much. I could not upload the Paint.net file

    This one I can tell right away is not RPM#52, HOW?
    Look at the verticle shaft of the primary mintmark. Yours lines up between the BU of Pluribus, now look at the same placement on 052 - it's more East, "Facing You" under the U of Pluribus. I did an overlay but it just conferms what I'm saying so I wont post. Ron, Look at a later die state of RPM#55. It's a West also and is more closer to position, plus has a DDO.
    Good Luck!

      Ron,
      In Paint.Net. when you save, there is a drop down menu. Change from PDN to JPG: Overlay Directions.png

      Hear is the overlay. As you can see the Motto does not line up with the mintmark. 1943PRPM052bb - Ron_Coneca_Overlay.jpg

        With my newly found confidence shattered I picked up the pieces and tried RPM 55 per your suggestion.It looks better & I also found what I believe is the DDO-001 pick-up point on the front. Would you agree the "E", "R", and "Y" in liberty show the appropriate seperation?
        From a process perspective I'm pasting photos into paint then sizing them as close as possible then snipping them into individual files & putting them into paint.net. I'm struggling less using the program but need to analyze the results better. Thanks for dragging me along.

          What I do with photo's to overlay: 1) both photo's must be the same size, So wars I usually use 600pxX600px but i'm using Adobe Photoshop elements.
          I crop your photo if I have a whole REV to use. Then I do the same thing to Coneca's photo. If the size is a bit off you can use the bottom left or right of the top layer to size to the bottom layers mintmark. The Motto then should be close to the size. You can use the Rotate/Zoom in layers to adjust the angle of the mintmark if it's not the same as Coneca's.
          I hope this helps.
