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

    1984P Quarter, posible PRP

    While going through some mint sets I saw this quarter, may be a RMP. Any thoughts. See pictures

    I cannot tell from these photos. Once I am home I will see if my photo editing software will reveal any split serifs on the mint mark.

    I wanted to rule out the possibility of machine doubling, but the top photo is not clear enough and the lighting is way too bright.

    One other thing, that is against this possible RPM is that Variety Vista does not list 1984 as a RPM candidate. It does not mean it cannot be.
    Here is the RPM list for the Quarters:

    Two suggestions for shooting photos;
    Try using some sort of cloth to diffuse the bright light, the softer the better.

    If your camera has a closeup feature or MACRO setting, its best that this feature is turned on for close up photos. Its not absolutely necessary
    to get up close and personal to a device (in this case a mintmark) to get a great pic. It takes time to figure out what looks good enough for a good educated guess.

    Sometimes taking good to great photographs take a LONG time. I used to nearly spit fire when it would seemingly take too long to shoot a good pic.
    But for many that like to help in this forum, good to great photos will assist us in giving you a better answer than, "I cannot tell".

    Keep looking, there are plenty of neat finds out there !
