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

    1934 D buffalo RPM 001?

    Looking at Wexler's site this coin's mint mark could be a match for the 1934 D/D buffalo nickel. I can't find the obverse die scratches or the reverse die crack mentioned as the die markers (pictures attached). Since its a well worn coin I could imagine the scratches possibly wearing away but the die crack should still be there. Would the lack of these markers be enough evidence to eliminate this coin as RPM001 in your opinion? Thanks for dragging me along the educational process.

    The lack of markers? No. It could be a different stage. The MM position has to be exact and its not close. This isnt WRPM-1. I cant tell for sure from the pictures if this is an RPM at all. It looks like MD

      Thanks. I also realized that my coin has a large "D" mint mark and the RPM I proposed has a small "D" mint mark. I re-rolled it and am feeling a bit better about understanding the process.

        That's a good catch. A lot of people don't know that there were two different style mintmarks for 1934D Buffalo's. Well done!
