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

    2006-D N Dakota State Quarter Obv/Rev Errors

    While looking through some of my State Quarters, I found this 2006-D North Dakota Quarter which has Obv and Rev Die Errors. On the Obverse of the coin, you will notice a die crack almost all the way across the bottom of Washington's collar bone. Heavier to the right side of the coin but running almost to the left side. The nick at Washington's throat above the crack isn't anyway connected to the die crack. The Reverse error is noted as a "V gouge" which runs down underneath the left side of the D and the A, in DAKOTA, and forms a V enclosing the second 8 in 1889. I would assume this to have happened during the minting process, which stage I'm not sure, otherwise how would the letters be setting over the gouged area? Hopefully the pics will help clarify my descriptions. Thanks! Fran

    The "V" on the reverse appears to be a "struck through" a foriegn object error. It appears that something was on the die or the planchet when it was struck leaving that anomaly. As to what that object was, I do not have a clue.

      Thanks for your post, BJ. You didn't mention the die crack on the obverse. Do you know of other N Dakota Washington quarters with this attribute? Thanks again. Fran

        Fran - that seems like a spot prone for die cracking. If you look at most of the denominational coins, the lower bust area is the more likely place to see them.

          That's actually the first one I've ever noticed. I suppose it may be because of the nice size chips in the crack. Thanks again and have a super day! Fran

            yes most cracks i see especially in the 1/4's are lower bust, without seeing in hand i would almost say the V is a struck through grease. if it is it seems fairly common in the newer coins, nickel and up
