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

    1998-D 10C edge reeding

    Why does it look like it's "sandwiched" together & incused? 1.81g weight should be 2.27g.
    I realize that it environmental damage on obverse and reverse but that reeding is definitely different.

    In my opinion its difficult to know for sure. It looks like a railroac style appearance which may signify a partial collar or collar issue.

    The partial collar is difficult to prove when a well circulated coin is involved, along with the potential of environmentally damaged coin.

    The coin could have been in an environment that caused the copper to be removed or eaten away faster than the nickel area of the coin.

    The coin shows some pitting, so it is possible it was in the ground at one point in the coins travels. Where ever it was, the conditions were probably conducive for the copper to deteriorate quick.

    The environmental issue will eat away at the coin and reduce its weight as well.
