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

    Hi All,

    Is this an error or damage, and if either, do you know what it is?

    Thanks!

    I would say definitely damage. It almost looks like it was shot.

      Hi,
      It's damage. You can also see many scratch marks and that also indicates that the coin was tampered with in several ways.

      Have Fun

          The coin was shot by Annie Oakly with a high powered pellet gun. It appears to have been flipped up in the air and the pellet, travelling at between 600 and 800 feet per second and hit the "heads" side of the coin. It penetrated at a 75 degree angle to the Z verticle axis thru the center of the coin and at 4 oclock on the xy axis plane. As the pellet hit the copper plating and ripped it and the zinc underneather shattered and blew the outer edges of the copper up and folded the copper over making it appear to be an exit point. But the reverse shows the actual exit of the pellet.

          Nice shot.

            Is that what they mean by "the magic bullet"?
