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

    1969 D Roosevelt Dime Strike error? Counting Wheel marks?

    Roosevelt dime 1969 D with what appears to be damage (slashes) on obverse, but circular lines across the bases and tops of most of the letters on the reverse and especially apparent at the tops of "One Dime." Also, almost complete obliteration of the "E" in E pluribus unum. What would cause this? I am new to the hobby and interested in learning. Please help, if you may.

    It appears from the images that your coin has been damaged outside of the mint. The circular lines does indicate damage from a counting machine wheel or other sorting/roll rapping device.

      Thank you for your response. I thought it was from a counter of some sort, but again, I am new and learning what is mint damaged and what is not. I appreciate your help.
