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

    2020 Salt River Bay

    I found a few 2020 Salt River Bay quarters in new rolls that have the following 3 pick up points on each coin. The points are all on the lowest parts of the coin which makes me think they are polish marks. In the right light these marks are quite shiny! If the group agrees these are polish marks this enough of an error to be considered a die variety for this coin? 1. Shiny spot where the chin meets the neck, 2. Shiny spot below the ear 3. Shiny spot between the neck and pony tail (entire length of pony tail)

    I think, but am not 100% certain, that it's a die scrape - probably from a feeder finger.

      Thank you Jason. I was imagining these were polish marks on these 3 high point of the die (low points of the coin).
      Can you talk me through the feed finger/die scrape theory a bit farther? Would this be happening when the 1st part of the die makes contact with the blank?
