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

    Tilted Right, High S on 1979 Lincoln Cent T-II Proof

    I was shooting 2 1979-T-II proof cents for sale today, and swiftly noticed the 1 has a very noticible tilted right S mintmark....this draws my attention, as the VAM folks utilize tilted mintmarks as a major issue....looking at my normal 79-T-II, there seems to be a noticible difference.....the Tilted S is "High"(much closer to the 1979) and tilted right....while the normal is straight, and "low".....any comments welcome...I may send this to the cherry picking authors...never seen this before...second pic is the "normal" s straight position.

    While indeed tilted, it still seems to be within normal tolerances for Lincoln cent mintmarks.

      Yes it is tilted. It is a curiosity, especially since it is on a proof coin and would fit in nicely with a collection that features odd mint mark positions and placements. As for an added premium, I would think that it carries some, once again because it happened on a proof coin.
