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

    1968 dime. Cupped broadstrike?

    The obverse of this 1968 dime is within the collar
    I see on top upper portion of LIBERTY and also within IN,WE and date were not struck strongly. Most of the reverse collar is missing, it almost seems cupped from the obverse strike. This is most noticable on the reverse edge traveling from the ONE to the A in AMERICA. I could use some help properly identifying this error. Sorry if the terminology is off here. Thanks in advance for any comments, replies or corrections.

      Koccwork419, the reeding on this dime are in good condition. If you were speaking of multiple posts let me know. Here is the edge/reeding around the area in question on this 1968 dime. I would think if it was damage, a vice job, scraping or smashed, the edge/reeding would be damaged as well.

        Its damage for sure. Not sure if it was intentional or not but its was filed down. Not necessarily a file but something abrasive wore it down

          I've never seen damage like that. I believe there is a clash involved.

            Nahh! It's just normal wear and tear. Don't over think it .

              This has unusual wear around the rim on both sides of the coin. Years ago, it may have been trapped in a coin counter. Then when it was released into circulation the handling of the coin has attempted to hide the issue. It really doesn't look like anything major.

                Thanks to all for the responses. As I usually do it will go away. I'm trying to get better at taking good pics to show what I'm seeing. I have the coin in hand. I do see faint die cracks on this dime so I will stick it in a book for now. Thanks again all.
