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

    It looks raised. If so, it looks too well-defined to be a plating bubble. I'd opt for a die dent.

        Reatined Cud?

        another opinion from coppercoins is that its a retained cud.

        Is that also a possibility?

          It's not a retained cud as there is no vertical displacement or horizontal offset. I suppose it could be an arcing, rim-to-rim die crack, but it'd be a rather peculiar one.

            Looks like a retained strike thru,a wire maybe since the object is raised

              It looks more like it could be a gouge in the die..
