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

  • 1987D broadstruck Roosevelt dime

    I see alot of dimes that are this way in my change and they look alot like the graded ones that are broadstruck with that fat rim on one side and the no rim on the other from the collar not holding it right and the "tilted" strike across the obverse along with that little edge around the rim.
    Is this from the planchet not seating properly and the collar malfunction?
    One's like this would be keepers correct and get a small premium?

    Broadstruck coins are typically struck outside of the collar. This allows the metal to flow without the restriction of the collar. It usually results in the coin being larger than a normal coin of the same denomination. For instance, a nickle the size of a quarter.

    The best practice I can offer here is to take another die and place both on the table. See if one is higher than the other, thickness wise. Then, place on on top of the other to see if the diameter is larger than the other. With one coin on top of the other, you can inspect the reeded edge as well. You might be able see if it has a thinner or even a tapered planchet.

      I will give that a wirhl. What is going on with the rim or no rim I should say is it from the strike or upsetting mill? These are the one's I seem to have a hard time with for some reason. TO ME this looks the same as the slabbed one (for reference only) except for the zinc split plating and it's at K instead of 9:00. Am I confusing myself?
