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

    1942/1941 Winged Lib Head Dime - Authentic?

    Hi All,

    This coin is posted on another forum. I think it is a fabrication of some kind. My reasons:

    The 2 appears to be behind the 1 on this coin.

    On a genuine coin, the The 2 appears to be in front of the 1

    Also, the notching that should be visible on the 4 does not exist on this coin.

    This looks like a doctored 1941.

    Opinions Please?
    Thanks,
    Bill

    The two is out of position for this date and variety and as you said Bill, the 2 is over the 1. There should also be doubling on the 4 digit as well, which in this case seems to be missing.

      Hi,

      Thanks "wavysteps", You may have seen this coin already. You have me convinced that the coin has a fair amount of bogocity involved:-)

      (Bogocity...my word for measurable amounts of something being BOGUS:-)

      Have Fun,
      Bill

        It looks bad to me as well. The 4 should be doubled.
