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

  • 1969 S RPM?

    The other place I posted this was inconclusive. To me it looks like a RPM but I couldn't find a match for it. I do not have a real good coin magnifier so these were the best images I could get. 1969 S

    have you looked at varietyvista/doubleddie/lincolncentresource etc? some of the rpms in these years are kinda tough to pin down. (not saying your coin is an rpm)

      The placement of the mintmark on the coin is vital when trying to attribute if it is a RPM.
      Each working die that had been made had the mint mark hammered by hand into the die.
      ​​​​​​​The placement varied a little, and anywhere south of the date on the field (flat part of the coin) was ok. Those slight changes in location can help attribute a coin.

      So, a direct on shot of the date helps out immensely.

      Three places to look over are
      http://varietyvista.com
      Https://coppercoins.com
      Https://doubleddie.com

      I will assist as best I can in a few hours..Some serious thunder boomers are headed here.

        In my opinion, the last photo reveals a lot of worthless doubling on the date of this 1969-S. As best I can tell from the photos, so does the mintmark have worthless doubling. It's lower and shelf like, and mimics the same direction of the date, southeast to northwest. I cannot make out the item that is directly above the southern ball serif, it gets too fuzzy when I zoom in.

        I did not see any matches on copper coins. My gut instinct says it is probably not an RPM.

        1969-S didn't have a ton of RPMs. Although the 1959-D, 1960-D and 1961-D are fun to go through, and the BU rolls can be pretty cheap if found from a good source who does not cherry pick the rolls.

          I agree, this is a form of Mechanical doubling/push doubling quite possibly.

          I do also see what appears as Die Chips mingling with the "S"

            Greetings Bonnie, if you have a fairly decent Phone camera you may want to try this.
            All you need is some books and a bottle cap.
