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

    1974 D Lincoln Reverse Internal Die Break

    I believe this is a Freestanding Internal Die Break. It measures 4mm x 2mm at the widest point or roughly 6 sq. mm. The reverse also shows some MD on America and the right side of the memorial. The obverse might have some minor clash and ear damage.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I do not know what to say about this.
    it looks almost unnatural.
    If it is this big, and a die break, I believe I would see more spider-style stress cracks and drama around the area than just a rounded triangle sort of design.

    Maybe it's late, but I am not feeling the love for this coin.
    It may have been an oversized diechip or possible "beehive" between columns,nthat broke away and relocated at one point, but it is odd.

      To me this looks like a pretty large die chip under the memorial. I agree on the MD you are seeing. I can't tell from the photos about the clashing.

        A clincher for this would be to find another example. It is rather unique for sure.

          Thanks for the replies guys. I will put it in the "rather unique" pile.
          On a parting note I forgot to post one image of the reverse. I don't know if it has anything to do with this anomaly but the devices above the left side of the memorial are impaired.
