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

    1990 Roosevelt Strike Thru?

    I found this in a mint set. Does anyone think this is anything but a strike through of some kind? The partial missing torch, band and oak branch.

    Could be a weak strike. What does the front of the coin look like?

      The obverse has a strong strike. Nothing out of the ordinary.

        If the surface is original, then I would guess that it is a struck through.

          It is still in the original packaging. So much for full bands.

            Then again, it could be die abrasion, in which case there would be more than 1. Did that still happen back in 1990?

              Older dies can become weak with age as well. Die abrasion can happen at any time. This, however, looks like a struck-through.

              It's a bird! It's a plane! Aw nuts... It's merely two die scratches!
