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, I believe if it was off-center the design elements to the east would be off the coin. Since the west side of the coin on the obverse is about 15% eastward on the coin, the extreme east side would have to be that far off as well.

      As you probably know, the upsetting mill was where the rim was added before the strike. The fact that the "L" in LIBERTY is practically non-existent is concerning. Also, the reverse on the east side has a raised ridge on it, which is probably not part of the rim.

      I am leaning toward post mint damage of some sort. It does not appear to be a misaligned die, or a broad struck and in my opinion, it is too odd to be an off-center.

      Error-Ref may have a better answer, but there are a LOT of possibilities
