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

    1943 D Error Coin

    This 1943 D coin that has an error on it, came from the same uncirculated roll as the two graded coins from NGC in the last picture below.
    It appears to look like the FS-513 RPM http://varietyvista.com/02a%20LC%20R...943DRPM013.htm
    We need an expert opinion on what it could be, thanks!

    Is that area raised in question raised on your coin?

    For the referenced photos, there is a scratch that runs from the intersection of the leg of the 4 and crossbar of the 4 to the top serif of the "D". Is that scratch evident on your coin(s) ?

    All the photos you posted is focused on the date and none of them show a clear focused photo on the area of concern. Is it possible to do an additional photo focused on the weaker mintmark?

    Lastly, we have to make sure your mintmark is in the exact location where it is on the referenced examples. The "D" in your photos seems to be a bit higher and a bit more to the west than the referenced example. I'll look again later, I am fighting off a headache....

    Additionally look at the metal flow on the first photo of the reference. It seems to flow from the northeast down towards the southwest. In your first photo it looks like your coin flow goes from the northwest to the southeast.

      This is not FS-513 and its not an RPM. Its a discoloration like other areas in the field around it

          Show a full pic. That coin has odd bumps all over it. Probably plated

            All of the coins in this picture come from the same uncirculated roll including the two graded coins from NGC. All of these coins have similar features. The coin in the center is the 1943 D error coin.

              All of these photos do not show a clear photo of the area in question.

              The odd angle shots do nothing for me, I can't compare the location of the issue with a known example on a researchers website. a straight on photo focused on the area in question is best. This could very well be a die chip or other issue.

              This the same question on different or the same coins as this post?
              https://board.conecaonline.org/forum...oln-error-cent

              "Original" rolls originated from the federal reserve banks and had paper rolls that identified them. They too could have easily been opened, searched and coins replaced with lesser quality. It happens more than most people know.

              Another tidbit of knowledge is that when coins are produced, they typically use between 9 and 15 different minting presses. When the coins go to bagging and eventually rolling. It is highly unlikely anyone will find a roll with 50 of the same coins from one die.
