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

    1949S 4s Question

    When I first looked at this coin I could see the second 4. My angle was looking up from the MM. Then later when I want to picture it, I couldn't find it as easy. If I send it in for attribution, how could I explain this - and is it worth sending in?

    Okay, we know that it is not a doubled die. If the anomaly is incused, it could be struck through a foreign object, which would include a dropped design element. If the anomaly is raised, then it could be a die gouge/scratch/scrape that is mimicking a four digit.

    If the anomaly is that hard to see, then it would be considered minor at best. As far as attribution and the fees attached for that service; it is all according to what you want to pay to see what it is.

      I don't see anything in your photos, other than a normal cent. I suspect you are simply imagining things.

        It may only be a die gouge, but to this optimistic eye, it could have been a four. It had the right angle and good separation. I'll continue to have the imagination to see the possible and the impossible. Knowing each time I submit a possible I’ll receive a dose of reality, with a scoop of knowledge.

        Thanks again for taking the time to check out the photo's
