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

    2008P 25c DDO Ear?

    Found this 2008P Alaska 25c. To me it looks like the earlobe could be doubled. Any and all opinions are welcome as I learn this confusing aspect of the hobby.

    Thanks

    I don't see anything around the earlobe - but if you are talking about that aparent bump behind the ear - it could be something. Your photos are very overexposed and don't show enough detail to make a reasonable guess as to what is going on. Can you try again with your images - defusing the light and/or reducing the exposure?

      Thanks Russellhome..
      Once I readjusted the light on the USB microscope it appears to be post mint damage. Don't know why they were over exposed this morning as I had loaded my pre-set settings.
      Thanks again.

        Or it could be a dent in the die if it's a raised lump.
