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

    1999-D 1C alloy or occuladed gas bubble

    Is this an example of alloy mix or a occuladed bubble or is it MD from the zinc plating because if it was planchet error it would have struck differently in the "L" of LIBERTY correct more pushed down from the strike and less corrosion/errosion effect correct?

    In my opinion, it almost looks like it is peeling away from the L in LIBERTY.
    I dont see any other damage close to the rim on any letters, numbers or mintmark.
    Lincoln's lower coat area around tbe rim and where VDB is looks ok too.

    This could be either an exploded bubble either before, during or after the strike.
    It could be a lamination issue as well.

    I don't like sounding like a broken record, but on this tablet, I typically can zoom in and see a lot more. On these photogrpahs they become very fuzzy. I dont know what your camera resolution is set at but if it allows photos onto be uploaded and their below 2mb, its an ok thing.

    Since i can't zoom in as close as I've would like to, I can only give you possibilities vice a more solid answer.

    Happy hunting.
