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

    1976 Bicentennial Quarter- Scratches?

    I’m quite sure these are scratches but it’s just strange as the coin is in great shape otherwise with no other scratches and the exact position of the scratches makes me wonder. Thanks for any input!

    struck-through debris or contact with coins in a tub/bag etc. some of the things they use to transport/ship coins in are quite large. hundreds or thousands of pounds of coins on top of each other. i'm leaning toward struck-through. very common like this.

        I was confused at first by this reply because at first I thought the reply meant the strike through could occur in the bag.
        Glad I read it again and realized the reply actually noted how similar the two can look.

        There are two fairly straight and parallel lines that are recessed into the surface of the coin. IMHO, this is PSD based on the other circulation marks on the coin and that a strike through is usually an irregular or letter shape that can be fairly easy to identify.
