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

    It's pretty cool to find things like this. It is nothing spectacular...just a simple die crack. However, some of them look interesting and are worth keeping. As far as die cracks on the memorial corners, there are thousands of them out there. The reason there are so many of them is those areas of the die are thinner/weaker after the hubbings. After a few hundred thousand strikes, the die begins to break down and those areas are normally the weakest and crack first. Other cracks like this one between the 99 of the date are actually pretty scarce. You seldom see cracks in that area.

      It's probably an unusual die crack as Bob is stating, but it could also be an odd plating blister.

          I agree it is probably a die crack - but the notion that plating blisters will flatten with pressure is false, some blisters will not respond with mild pressure.

            It has since been brought to my attention that the perfect name for this error would be "glasses" and I do think it's a perfect fit

              Call it what you want - I would still regard it as minor
