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

    1962-D Lincoln Cent Capped Die???

    Is this a capped die or could it be a major struck through grease? The rim is present so I do not think someone sanded off the reverse. Thanks folks.

    A coin can be manipulated and still have a rim. It is just that most of the time, people who do this sort of manipulation are not wise enough to leave the rim in tact.

    As for this being struck through a die cap, no. It is the hammer die that is involved with a capped die and unless this was a reverse die set up (the reverse die was the hammer die), this would not happen. I also discount a weak strike since the obverse does not seem affected.

    That leaves two options; struck through grease or manipulated outside of the mint. In my opinion, it has been manipulated outside the mint.

      Thanks

      Thanks BJ! That was the info I needed. So that means the Obverse would be the side effected not reverse. I was starting to lean toward PMD anyway. The edge doesn't have any dents like someone beat it on something to produce a rim, but the edge does appear to be slightly curved. It is not flat like normal.
