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 Lincoln-Unusual mint mark

    I referenced Variety Vista to review mintmark styles for this year and I couldn't find what I have here. At first I thought it was a cud, but tilted there isn't one. It looks like an inverted "S." Pulled this from a mint set. Thoughts?

    In my opinion, it is best to have the date and mint mark close up as straight on as possible. This allows people to do an overlay or at least look at the position of the mint mark. The working dies that had the mint marks hammered into them prior to 1989 were positioned in slightly different locations. It is then possible to see if it matches up with a known, documented RPM.

    I will add more opinions on this either late today or some time tomorrow.
