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

    2006 Dime Slurred IGWT & Fadding LIBERTY

    Found this dime in some change:
    - First is the "In God We Trust" (Slurred) or is there a better term for it.
    - Second the fading LIBERTY, base is strong but outer rim missing, is this a striking error?

    As you can see the reverse side of the dime is normal.

    Your comments are welcome.
    Thanks

    Looks to be that the obverse die had deteriorated to a point that it needed replacement and the reverse die more than likely already had been replaced.


    Just my opinion.

      The numerals of the date look very thin, which indicates excessive intentional die abrasion (die polishing). The same thing goes for IN GOD WE TRUST, although these letters also show metal flow, which is an occasional side effect of being struck through grease. The weakness at the outer portion of LIBERTY would seem to be due either to slight weakness in the strike or the presence of grease on the die.
