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

    Opinion needed on a delamination issue

    I'm new to CONECA and new to these forums, so I apologize up front if this is posted in the wrong place. I recently purchased a 1941-D MS67Full Step PCGS graded Jefferson off of eBay. No issue with the transaction. Reasonable price for the coin. However, when I looked closer at it I discovered a small delamination error in the field behind Jefferson's head. It is small, probably under a an 1/8" x 1/8" but the surface has lifted and is still fully attached to the surface. It was not called out by PCGS, but is noticeable without a loop, and they still gave it a 67! So, my question to the forum is; do you think this adds value or detracts from it? I collect errors, the reason I joined CONECA, but I still have the option of returning the coin for a refund. However, having a PCGS Graded MS67FS Jeff' is intriguing to me. BTW, the coin deserved every bit of the 67 rating sans the delam issue. Thoughts?

    It's hard to imagine a small lamination error hurting the value of a coin unless it were naked eye obvious. Typically errors do not go well with keys, semi keys or varieties. I am not sure about a high grade old Jefferson though. I do not think it will enhance the value on something like this. If you really don't notice it, and it's just kind of cool to have, I wouldn't worry. Others are free to chime in on this...
