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

    2004 OCEANS IN VIEW NICKEL VARIATION?

    I am looking through a roll of nickels and noticed this 2004 D Oceans In View Nickel that appears to have possible doubling next to the smaller tree on the right. There have been many errors noted on this nickel higher up in the trees but I could not find anything about the trunk area of the smaller tree. Any suggestions?

    This is pretty interesting. It does not appear to be doubling of anything in the area, and it is sitting south of the primary area know for doubling this year. First thing that comes to mind is that this may be a struck through area (maybe heavy grease). One question I have is 'Is the area incuse or raised on the surface of the coin?

      I checked the coin and the area in question is indeed raised. This is extra metal material on the coin.

        It would have to be looked at by an attributer/examiner. I know it's not doubling, but I don't know what it is without a hands on examination. When we open up attributions or another examiner has an opinion on this, we will announce it and you can decide if you want to send it in.

            When we open up Jeffersons (hopefully soon) one of us can look this. I am not sure what is going on either.
