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

    1960D SD

    These pictures are all from the same penny. It has WHAT LOOKS like a RPM, Die crack thru head east-west, finned rim, Die chips in "6" & "B" & "N" in CENT. There also seems to be something wrong with the "1" in 1960 & "T" in CENT.
    There's various scratches throughout.

    Greeting`s, the Die crack , chips in Liberty and that date are indications of a LDS "later die state" of condition of the die. To diagnose a possible RPM can not be done with the photo you provided. I suggest you go to the link I provided and with the cent in hand carefully compare to the know listed ones, the die chips and cracks will provide excellent die markers for verification of a match yet remember it must match up perfectly. The Finning is quite common and is caused by excessive striking pressure or a localized increase in striking pressure caused by slight die tilt. The extra pressure causes coin metal to squeeze into the narrow gap between die neck and collar. http://www.varietyvista.com/02b%20LC...D%20(1-60).htm
