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

    2017 S Kennedy Half Dollar - Struck Thru?

    Hello - Just picked up a 225th Anniversary Enhanced Uncirculated Mint Set for my Collection- The half dollar has a divot/ hole which appears to have some slightly raised metal at edge of hole. I have gotten some initial advice that this could be struck thru slag?

    Normally, a struck through would not have the raised metal edge like you mentioned. Even so, I wouldn't rule out a struck through all together. I do not know at what point this damage may have occurred, but I am thinking maybe during the process of putting it in the packaging.

      One other observation is the inside of this divot looks shiny/polished. I imagine they make this similar to a reverse proof and polish the planchett then the die is prepared to make all other areas have that satin finsh. The letters / numbers devices have the mirror/polished look. I really dont know how they made this defect but its a bit deep for an incidental during packaging. Very odd.
