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

    1946D Nickel

    I've been working on my photos so here we go. Is this a RPM with a start of a CUD? I tried to show the top light angle without shadows. Also, Gary I picked up a few learning items from your website

    (hopefully allowed to say that) so that I don't have to clog up the posts with repeated questions that I see are being posted all the time.
    Thanks Robert K.

    Understood, they have been sent in 2 different packages, with a few extra freebies.

    As for this coin, the obverse looks like just a heavily worn rim. It's tough to zoom in without photos becoming pixelated and blurry. I will attach a photo of a cud type that I purchased from a dealer from India. I am currently away from the pc. I will get to the storage and pull a few cud examples and post them here.

    There is a websites called cuds on coins. Same group of people who hang around at mad die clashes and error-ref.com

    I'll research the rpm side of the question as soon as i can unless some one beats me to it.

      As for the question on whether it's an RPM, it does not match anything on varietyvista or conecaonline.info

      The only thing that looked mildly close was RPM 004, but on the websites, the documented examples are more east than your coin mintmark. Yours appears to be more west. I did not do an overlay.

      I did not check doubleddie.com for a match. It's been a pretty busy day here and my online time has been limited.

        That's what I thought too but close only works with hand grenades and horse shoes right. I'll do more research.

          It's all about trusting your resources. I typically look at the resources to see if one existed. Then if it did, try to match it up. If it doesn't match at varietyvista or conecaonline.info, it still could be a minor rpm. Those might be found on doubleddie.com for most denominations, and for cents, it's coppercoins.com

          It just takes time, and logically approaching the problem. If you have some sketch paper, try sketch drawing the primary mint mark only and sliding to the other potential weaker mintmark. It offers a good tool to see the possibilities.

          It's that or using some sort of photo editing software that allows layers, the ability to change the opacity so the upper layer can be sheer or translucent and it makes it easier to line up the photos to see if the match in regards to mintmark placement.
