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

    Would you consider the rough patch on the Obverse a strike through or is this something else? Thanks for looking.

    In my opinion, its tough to know for sure on this one.
    There is even some indication its on Washington's cheek.
    From what I can tell from the photo, it looks shallow, almost like a scrape?
    I don't see a photo of the reverse so I cannot look for any other clues.

          In my opinion, the reason it may be shiny is it could be either the coin was well kept and not exposed to circulation when found.
          A circulated coin would have some crud within the crevice and it would be discolored. Its had 20 or so years to tarnish and get debris within the crevice.

          Or, it was does recently.

          The best thing to do is to add a post of this coin under CONECA Services => Examinations. They will give an opinion about the coin. This may qualify for struck through debris on the front. Typically - strike throughs occur on one side only.
