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

    Since it appears to be an indent, it is more than likely a "bag mark" or circulation damage.

      To straight to be bag mark, it is like the coin stock is coming apart, it is indented.

          You are right, after I look at it from the side it is circulation danage. Thanks Malcolm.

            Hi!
            I think I will disagree.

            - Looks like a manufacturing defect caused by a deteriorating die (or
            contamination). Too perfect to be a circulation damage.

            - Have seen similar gouges in other 2005 Bison coins. Some
            aligned with a long crack at the Bison's back. Think had some
            relationship with the "speared Bison".
