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

    JQ Adams question

    Please check the attached pictures, I'm thinking it is an error. There appear to be two 'G's in the word GOD. However one is twisted 90 degrees out, and off set toward the face of the coin. I think it happened first before the actual rim markings got put on, because there is no smearing.

    Would this be a striking error?

    It's post-strike damage, but I can't tell from here whether it occurred before or after the coin went through the lettering device.

      Pre -

      Pre lettering, if you agree that at 3 of the points where they cross the offset letter is over powered by the regular lettering. Only at the point where the mouth of the G and the offset cross, does the offset remain.

        If the ridge that runs into the normal G is elevated above the surrounding metal, then the damage occurred after lettering. If the ridge is at the same level or lower, then it may have occurred before lettering.

          This coin looks like Damage Before Edge Lettering. If you notice in the second picture the G is clearly not damaged but the coin is. There is only one coin that has this error in the Presidential Series graded by NGC and I have it.

            Congratulations on your good fortune

            I congratulate you on your good fortune. Yes, mine is not as I originally thought. Mr. Diamond, help me to see the G was elivated above the surface making it interesting to look at but of no extra value. Again congratulations on your good fortune.
