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

    2020 Salt river bay (marks between chin & Liberty)

    I found a few coins in new rolls that have these marks between George's Chin and the word Liberty. Is this a mint error that would be considered worthy of possible cataloging?

    You are likely to see this on many quarters. This is sometimes a layer of grease on the coin that spreads out on each striking. At other times, there are streaks or polishing marks on the die. These are not collectible (unless it really appeals to you), and are not worth cataloging.

      I agree with Bob. And this is in the wrong area - it should be in the mint error forum

        I'm posting extra photos after reading CoinFinders article on feeder finger damage. These different coins have the same scratch marks. Would you agree this is feeder finger damage instead of grease?

          I would call it minor die scraping - possibly from a feeder finger. It really has to be dramatic to command a premium. Like naked eye obvious
