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

    Possible 1968-D RPM?

    Hi All,
    I'm relatively new to looking for RPMs but noticed this curious mark to the north-east of the main D on a 1968-D cent I was looking at. It doesn't match any descriptions I've seen so far about common '68-D RPMs. Does anyone think it's a possible new RPM, or some other mark- die polishing, die gouge, or something else?

    Thanks!

    Looks like a die gouge or similar form of die damage. I'm sure our variety experts will weigh in with their opinions.

      Since there are similar lines in the same direction (from the left lapel to the 1 and 9 digit in the date) I would suspect that this is a heavy, short die scratch.

        I will add my agreement that it appears to be some type of die damage, either a die scratch or gouge.
