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

    1938 D Buffalo D/D Looks D/D/D/ Need Help

    I sent three MS66 1938 D Buffalo Nickels which were in the old line fattie slabs to NGC for regrading and Variety Plus.Two came back as MS67 D/D and the other one is an MS66 D/D. All Three are slabbed as FS-502. After looking at photos taken by Todd Pollack you can clearly see D/D/D. They are also very distinct using a 10x loupe. The coins were sent back to NGC for designation review and the FS-504 label. I received a call from NGC today stating that the FS-502 is correct and there is no D/D/D in that classification. I stated that Coneca has a D/D/D listed on their web site in the FS-504. It was explained to me that my coins are FS-502 so there is no D/D/D/. My question is. Do i just let it go or can i send the coin or coins to a Coneca expert to see if i am correct? Thank you for letting me rattle on for my first post.

    NGC got it right. It's definitely FS-502 (CONECA RPM-002).

    All of the 1938-D RPMs from the CPG are pictured on Variety Vista.

      Thank you for your response. I agree it is an FS-502 but why can't they slab this coin as a D/D/D? It sure looks like it.
