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

    1979S Dime Question?

    Found this Type II Roosevelt dime with unusual markings near the ear. Before I go and claim it as a (well whatever) coin, I’d like to get your thoughts. Pic 1 is normal, the rest are of the coin in question.

    It appears to be a small die chip. Or it possibly could be a die dent from a struck through a foreign object.

      I see nothing except perhaps a little superficial damage to the frosting.

        Wish you included an arrow. In one pic it looks like a small gouge in the ear. The other shots I just don't if I see anything out of the norm.

          I think he is talking about the ear wax inside the ear.. looks like a small die chip. I see what Mike is talking about and that was my first thought as well. (The bottom of the ear)

              Are there any strange marks on the reverse? It doesn't look like it lines up right, but could it be a type of die clash? Hey, I am a rookie here so do not take my word for it. It does look a little odd however.
