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

  • 1995D 50C broadstruck Kennedy

    The left side of the obverse between "1" in 1995 and "lib" in LIBERTY is broadstruck or tilted is that why there's no rim there ? I know I've asked this type of question on other coins BUT I HAVE so much trouble with these for some reason.
    Note die gouge in neck on this one as well.

      In my opinion, occnumis2021 is correct. A broadstrike is larger and typically would not sit in the collar. The broadstruck coin would be somewhat larger than a normal coin.

      Broadstruck coins out of collar tend to be slightly mis-shapen. This is due to the metal not having a restriction of metal flow. The collar is meant to keep the coin round, contain metal flow and if applicable add reeding once the coin is struck.

      I do not have an example of a broadstruck Kennedy. I am sure there are examples on the www. I iknow I have a few other denominations and I will see if I can dig them out later and show a nice example.

      In a nutshell a broadstrike usually has the coin larger in size. Typically all the design elements are seen on the coin. Broadstrikes will affect both sides of the coin.

      A MAD mis-aligned die, will typically affect one side of a coin, being a little off center. The other side is not affected.

      An off center strike typically affects both sides of the coin, and both sides should have the same amount of percentage off center. The O/C coin more than likely will have some elements missing on both sides of the coin.

      Typically - there usually has to be greater than 5% off on, MADs and O/Cs in order to gain any interest. In my opinion, there has to be some decent drama on the coin, more than minute. I do not know what the Mints tolerances are for being off, but this coin in this post would pass for QA and not get kicked out by the riddler, nor caught up in a coin counting machine.

        Here is an example of a broadstruck nickel that is a little bigger than a quarter:
