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

    NO Cents Racketeer Nickel

    For Your Consideration CONECA :
    1883 Liberty Head Nickel "NO CENTS"
    Obverse; Clad, Laminate, Planchette Split Die Error ???
    Reverse; Cracked Die Thru Collar thru "United"
    + Poss DDR Right Fig Leaf.
    Any help on the exact error on obverse will be helpful Due to
    Die Scratches and Addition Metal Deposits along with other directional
    Lines peroindicullar to each sect. Does not reflect PMD.
    Lots of Cuds and Chips as well as Struck outside of collar
    What do you guys think ??? Thank you

    I see no evidence of any of the errors you have described except there may be some die cracks but I can't tell for sure from the pics. The coin is generally in rough condition and would be considered a damaged coin, especially on the obverse. A racketeer nickel would be gold plated to look like a five dollar gold piece and yours is not.
