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

    2012 S - Reverse Proof - Error?

    I received a 2012 S Reverse Proof coin that has many things going on that are not normal. Question is....Do these things make this coin a collectable error coin?

    Reeded edge is wider on 1/3 of the width and the three that look shiny are broken/chipped.


    This looks like a gouge out of Liberty's dress


    This was explained as lint on NGC collectors Society...I'm not 100% convinced....it looks raised to me.


    Large clump of metal....maybe the remnants of Liberty's dress gouge?

    I'll give my opinions on what these pictures show.
    Pic 1: The width of the reeds does strike me as strange, but not really collectible. The shiny ones have been 'dinged' or hit (not really a good thing)
    Pic 2: A gouge, also not great for the grade
    Pic 3: A die crack of some sort, virtually no added value (in this case)
    Pic 4: Not really sure, perhaps a hit or a planchet imperfection

    Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be anything collectable besides the coin itself, but proof errors are very hard to come by. Keep looking!
