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

    1916D Barber Quarter Obv/Rev Error? or Damage?

    I need help in deciphering what took place on this 1916D Barber Quarter please. The Obverse of the coin looks like Damage to the coin, maybe outside the mint, but when I look at the Reverse, the damage there appears to me as though it was most likely done during the mint process since none of the letters are scathed except for the very tip of the"S" in STATES and the dentils are all entact. I would very much appreciate any views. Thanks again and hope everyone had a great Memorial Day. Fran

    It's all post-strike damage.

      Thanks for your quick reply, Mike. Question... How could all the lettering and dentils be entact in post strike damage? [OTE=diamond;4001]It's all post-strike damage.[/QUOTE]

        The surface of the coin is crimped and warped. Such an appearance is incompatible with any error. I see plenty of damage to the denticles; they've been flattened in the affected area.
