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

    In my opinion, It looks like a hole, so it could be Struck through debris or Grease.

    I am not fond of zinc coins. It's tough to gauge the depth of this crater. It looks like the copper plating is still intact and not punctured.

    Could it have been a decent size zinc blister that deflated ? I dunno. Improper alloy mix?

    The patina looks the same, so it may be safe to say that this was not done recently. If the area was shiny on a circulated cent from the 1990s, it may indicate that the issue was done from a few weeks to a few years ago.

    The affected area is in the field ( flat area of the coin), so this doesn't affect the devices (letters, numbers or other design features). It also seems to not effect the reverse, which is a "plus" for most issues. The rims look intact, and there does not appear to be any other damage.

    It's difficult to assess coins like this without well focused photos that can be zoomed in and not become blurry.
