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

    Misalignment???

    Is this some form of misalignment or a form of PMD? The rim by LIBERTY is confusing me because it looks like LDS but there's that ring on the rim. Thanks for the help everyone.

    The rim is placed on the planchet by the upsetting mill. The working die does not have a rim, it's a round piece of metal that fits within the area of the planchet. This might be a very minor misalignment, the magnification is up there. But MADs are typically one side of the coin. If both sides are off, it's usually an off center coin.

    No photos of the reverse to confirm so I will leave the info and move on to another post.
