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

    1940 D/S Cent? near full S North

    Just going through some of my random wheats with mint marks and came across this. Can't find it listed anywhere and just wondering if maybe possible trick of lighting etc.

    It's almost certainly just a simulacrum. It's easy to find letters in random patterns.

      I agree with Mike and add that the size of the supposed S is too small in relation to the MM punches used at the time.

          Do to the S being removed, still the inner edge portion of the mint mark is whats left over. If the entire S was removed properly it would show a larger image yes, but it does match right up with the outside edge. I do think the chances are small and you are right but there is a possibility also. Thanks for your advice.
