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

    1992 D Column#1 Fluting Line Extension???

    Hi Bob and BJ,

    This is related to the 1992-D Cent we posted as with anomaly in Column#1.
    Was commented to be a post-mechanical damage.

    However, have attached other 1992 cents with similar Column#1 anomaly.
    Have also attached the pictures we originally posted in the Die Variety Section. Could it really be a strong fluting line extension of Column#1?

    Could you further comment and re-assess/reconfirm?

    Many thanks. Just Don't want to be confused while we do our searches.

    Hi Everyone,

    I thought I would comment on this real quick. I don't see anything similar to doubing, only post mint damage. It's minor but your magnified so much that it could look like something if you look hard enough or use your imagination. Under very high magnification, a miniscule knick can look like a column or a carbon spot can look like a mintmark. This is what I have found during my searching.

    Happy Hunting,
    Lestrrr

      Thank you again Lestrrr.

      Note that the last four photos are 4 different 1992 cents. Not sure if you'd agree that they have very similar nicks as the cent in the 1st photo?
      How could they possible be similarly nicked? Just need to further understand.

      Thanks again,
      NVTEs

        I still don't see anything that would cause me to change my opinion of the first cent you listed. By understanding the hubbing and striking process, I find the anomaly just about impossible to have happened in either stage. There basically is no way this can be construed as a doubled die. I still stick to it being post mint damage.

          Ours have similar anomaly.

            Let us clarify. We're not saying it is DD, but a trail anomaly.

              I'm sorry guys....I just don't see any indication of trails either. I should know a little bit about those also, as the trailsdie site is maintained by both BJ and myself. It looks like your point of interest is the gouge like anomaly under the column. Trails don't form like that, and if there were something that strong, then the adjacent columns would have them too.
