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

    1926 Lincoln

    I wasn't sure about this one would it qualify for a clipped planchet or PMD?

    In my opinion, let me try to explain this in a logical manner.
    The clipped planchet is done first
    Then the planchet goes to the upset mill, getting the rim which makes it a type 2 planchet, the eventually its struck into a coin.

    This coin looks like the rim is bent and intact. Either this is and extremely small percentage of clip, or on was damaged after it left the mint.

    I believe clipped planchets should go all the way through the coin. If it comes not, then there is usually a circular impression on the coin. That known as an incomplete punch.

    If it was a clipped planchet which bent that rim. The strike may have flatten the bent rim flat in order for the WE to be impressed onto the coin.

    I have to lean towards PMD since it's not completely punched all the way through, and the rim is bent. I could be wrong, but this answer makes logical sense to me.

      I don't know if this magnified photo helps at all. If the coin fell per say would the strike side be smooth or rough? That's one of the points of inspection that is throwing me off when I'm examining coins.
