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.

    Jefferson nickel die rust?

    I found this coin in a roll and it appears to have had rust on the die that left scarring on Jefferson but not in the fields Die cracks on both sides as well. I thought rust would leave raised marks. This is pitting. Is this considered an error? Rust Obverse.jpg

    It looks a bit more like struck through to me. Almost like a light spray of oil hit the surface and the droplets traveled to the deepest parts of the die face. JMHO.

      Hummm I guess it could be considered an error, but I don't know how collectible a Jefferson nickeI struck with a rusted die is. I have never met any one that collects them.
