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

    1913 P Buffalo nickel

    There is an unusual mark/line between the F and I of "FIVE" on this coin. It's not mentioned in the "complete guide to Buffalo nickels" but I'm wondering if this is a known defect. It seems a bit too rectangular to be a die chip. Thanks for looking!

        I think it could be the mint attempting to clean out the gunk in the die cavities, and maybe a retooling/ engraving attempt to make the die last a bit longer.

        Or simply a die chip/debris that collected in a letter that escaped and moved east a bit.
        Whatever it is, it appears to be super minor.
