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

    1971-S BS Eisenhower Scribble Scratches in Wing Feathers?

    I'm familiar with the engraved wing feathers on the 1878-S Morgan Dollar, they are fun to study...in hand is a 1971-S Business Strike IKE, and, I noticed a few "hot spots" of fine lines(polishing lines?) in the right wing(as viewed) feathers, in some locations. VERY hard to shoot with camera, actually, impossible, used scope for details of the lines, so, you catch at least the pattern.
    Hotspots are on 3rd inner feather, near wing curve, and, outer feathers, #2, and, 4-8. These remind me a LOT of the "Scribbly Scratches on the 1921 Morgans.
    Curious if these are of any interest?
    Thanks

    Of the 6 1971-S Business Strikes I pulled out to look at, every one had scratchig in the areas you are referring to.

    I do not think there is much interest in these at this point in time. Especially since the appear to be common to the reverses.
