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

    Through a 16X loom looks like rust on both Obverse & revers.

      It's definitely not a mint error.....just looks like corrosion and/or damage. Maybe it was in the ground for awhile.

        The coin has been subject to a chemical and reacted to it. One must remember that the present day nickel is 75% copper and 25% nickel. It is not a mint error.

          This coin looks to me like it may have been a metal detecting find. sometimes when nickels are dug out of the ground and the corrosion washed off this is what they look like. Also what BJ said about becoming into contact with chemicals is close to the same thing and creates corrosion just like as if the coin had been under the ground for a while.
