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.

    Hello - Is this 1883 Hawaiian 1/4 D damaged? Or does it have errors (ex lamination, planchet defect, etc).

    That's pretty interesting. It is definitely some sort of damage or maybe even a glue or something else stuck to the surface. Are the suspect areas raised or incuse on the coin? I would recommend soaking this in some pure acetone to see if it will remove those areas as the first step to trying and figure this out.

      I would say raised, but it's not by much. On the reserve of the coin, some of the devices seem to be covered in it. So, glue or another type of adhesive would make sense. It also sounds like acetone may dissolve glue and glue residue. Thank you for your insight.

        Please let us know what you find out. I have only seen two of these coins in my lifetime.
