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

    1967 Roosevelt dime

    Here is a 1967 P Roosevelt dime that appears to show a die dent from a foreign object on the obverse and the reverse. At first I thought the coin had been hit with a pellet, But the opposite side shows no damage directly opposite the dent. The obverse seems to indicate a wire loop caused the dent on the obverse die and apparently hit the reverse die on a subsequent strike but in the 3 oclock position as apposed to the dent on the obverse at 9 oclock. The reverse dent does not have the same donut hole in the center the obverse feature has.

    Blisters generated by intense heat, collapsed on the obverse.

      Wow

      Wow, I never would have thought that about intense heat blistering the coin. (Would that be similar to the gas lines that occur in Lincoln Zinc pennies?) On both side in opposite areas to boot. Could you explain further about the blistering and how/why it occurs? Thank you.

        The heat was applied after the coin left the mint. I see this type of vandalism/damage all the time on eBay.

          Oh

          Oh Ok. I hate it when I see coins that are intentionally damaged. I guess some people are really bored. I know that at times I see a very very nice coin on E-Bay that has had large deep scratches on them, sometime in a x pattern. I call these divorce coins because I imagine the spouse that was not a collector but wanted to get back at the other spouse would intentionally scratch really nice coins. It is a shame.
