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

    1991 P Quarter Errors???

    I am new to coin collecting and I could use some guidance on how to properly identify errors and any other anomalies. I have a 1991 P quarter that seems a little off to me and I am hoping that my observations are correct. 1) Doubling - left of the wing, neck on the eagle, EPLURIBUS and IN GOD WE TRUST: 2) Die Crack - tip of the left wing
    Please let me know if I am right or do my eyes deceive me.
    Thanks for your assistance.

    In my opinion, it appears to be worthless aka machine doubling. It's lower, step or shelf like. Additionally, the letters appear much thinner. Die cracks are usually sunk into a working die, so it is then raised onto the coin. If it isn't raised, then it could be lamination/planchet related.

    The obverse shows a slight circular ring on the coin to the left /west side. This could be coin counter or coin wrapper damage.
