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

      Interesting. Is the imperfection on the obverse sunken or raised?

        This is also very interesting. I suggest you send it to James Wiles or BJ Neff for a look. Sometimes these "columns" are produced by dragging the point of a dull stylus through each bay. There is no doubled die I'm aware of that produces so many duplicate columns. But there's a first time for everything.

          The "extra" columns is interesting. However, since the "extra" columns are not equidistant from each other, I suspect that this maybe a plating issue. If it were a true doubled die, then the columns would be the same distance from each other. Having said all that, if you would like, you can send it down to me for an in hand examination.

          The first posting looks to be a blob of solder, but then again, it is hard to tell from a picture what the anomaly is.

            At first I thought the "blob" might be an interior die break. But I really can't tell if it's incuse or raised. The "weakness" on the reverse doesn't look right for a die break. And the left side of the Memorial looks to be dislocated. But I'll wait for more information before drawing any conclusions.

              The obverse is sunken and the reverse raised...

                  Very well, then. It must be some form of post-strike damage. Pity...

                    Also to add, this seem to have happened at the mint since there are clash marks on the raised part.

                      Or something got into the bag of cents going between the mint and the federal reserve, depending on how exact the "clash marks" are, it could be a lot of different things.
