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

    I think that once its understood that a coin is not a minting error then the questions should really stop since nothing can be proven and even IF something is proven, its only proving PMD and does not add value or collectible worth to the coin.

    There must be 100's if not 1,000's of different ways to modify or alter a coin but determining and knowing each one simply appears to be a waste of time since its obvious that its NOT a minting error.

    Just understand that regardless of what is surmised, its Post Mint Damage and anytime spent determining what caused the damage, is simply free time and takes away from finding and examining true minting errors.
    The way I see it is if the owner of this coin wants to spend time with the coin then let them do it., maybe the owner is having fun with it. This will not bother anyone else and there is no one that says we have to even stop to read this thread unless we want to.

      To say it is not mint error is so easy however when we(I) see something interesting should we (I) take some time to learn, research, ask and try to fine out why and how? We may see another example? I am not looking to add value at this coin or others. For myself coin collecting is a hobby to waste time and money (some time:-) and I know I am waste my time and yours but I hope you guys don't mind.
      Thank you again :-)
