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

    What is it that makes you think it was struck through something? The detail looks good just about everywhere on the reverse. Is it the color or lack of luster? If that is it, then it might have had something spilled on it.

      The reverse has a matt surface and since I don't like to mess with the surface of an unusual looking coin, I figured someone might shed light on what might be the cause of it's appearance. I have a couple of genuine grease strike through quarters. That's why this one bothered me because it has retained all it's details.
      I never thought of it being coated with something. Thanks for the insight. Now I don't feel so apprehensive about messing with it's surface as to what gives it this appearance.

        Mustbebob, you were spot on. I dropped it in some diluted acetone for a few seconds, patted it dry and bam, bright and sharp. That being said, it's nothing special. Thanks for helping me sort it out.
