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

    I assume you're referring to the blemish over the bison's back. It looks to be some kind of die damage, perhaps a die dent or accidental die abrasion. As far as it being a new variety, that depends on how you define "die variety". I exclude die damage while others include it. Everybody's got a different definition.

      Looks like someone ground to much on these coins. There are many grinding marks within that blemished area. Pretty significant area involved big as that "D" in UNITED. Looks like a sharks fin on the back of a Buffalo.
