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

    1983 P Uncentered Broadstrike Error

    Good morning all. I believe that is what this one is. If any one can tell me for certain I would appreciate the help. Thanks

    In my opinion, when one side of the coin is off-center and the other side of the coin is fine....Its a Mis-Aligned Die (MAD).
    This one is pretty significant, in my opinion. Not too many seen this far off.

    Broad strikes are typically a coin that has ALL of the details of the coin.
    The broad strike is usually bigger than a normal coin of the same denomination. both sides should have the appearance of being broad struck, especially if the broadstruck is out of collar.

        I'm with Gary and I'll add that the reverse looks like it may have received the strike from a slightly tilted die. There is a light secondary rim on the reverse at k12 with weakness of details near the rim directly opposite (K6).

          Thanks Gary and Pete’s, after searching through some known coins. I see what you guys mean by both sides reflect the Broadstrike. Lesson learned. The excitement always seems to take over before logic brings me back down to earth.
