Hello CONECA, I am looking at a nicely toned ruby red 1960 Lincoln Proof Penny (large date, BTW). Turn this beauty over and there appears to be a struck through of hairs or fibers. It starts at the rim above the second 'T' in 'STATES' then splits at the 'T' and one end meanders through and ends at the 'UR' in 'PLURIBUS' and the second split meanders through the 'E' in 'STATES' and through the top of the 'BUS in 'PLURIBUS' and under 'AMERI' and through the 'CA' in 'AMERICA' and ends. Looks like a case of "splitting hairs"...literally. Thoughts or comments?

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
