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

    My tablet is not behaving very well this evening. I am having an issue magnifying your obverse image. My question is... Is there is a thicker area, near the edge of the hair line which might be related to the die crack... northeast of Roosevelt's ear ?

    It's close to the first pieces of hairline. It simply looks like something like a die chip that is in the hair, running east to west.

    I am not a big dime collector, so this may be perfectly normal

      Hi MintErrors. Here is another view of the crack, the origin and the bust.

        Nice photos. OK, I see them better.

        I have seen quite a lot of debates on what is a real error coin, and what are these worth in 2022. I seen a video which explained how the US Mint thwarts errors from leaving the mint. The one I saw they figured out the only way error coins were leaving the mint was via forklift. Low and behold someone was smuggling them out via the gas tanks of the forklift. The rate at which errors have been squelched, it's only a matter of time before a lot are no longer available. The saving grace behind this is, when big time error collectors retire, so sell a business, a swarm may hit the market, but to this day, I feel people
        seem confident on prices for all the errors.

        So a modern day die crack...think how average this was prior to 2003 and look at the scarcity of them now. Strike throughs and die cracks seem to be a out as available as before, but with not much else escaping the mint, it's tough to know what errors now are plentiful enough to collect, and fill the need of the error collector.

          Hi MintErrors. I did not know that this was a debatable error. Interesting. There are none SKU'S listed for 2021 in the dime section on cuds-on-coins and so it would seem that SKU'S are less common in the dimes. However, I have found many pennies with this error. As far as the value, not sure but i do not plan on slabbing the coin since I do not think it would be worth the cost.

          The die chips/cracks on the busts of dimes are very common.
