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

    I don't know. It could be post mint damage, Could be a grease filled die. Photos are needed to confirm.

          In my opinion, the letters on the reverse - even though the photo is a bit blurry can be seen, with the weakest on LI of LIBERTY. It has a lot of circulation to this coin. It might be due to a grease filled die, but it is pretty minor since most of the letters can still be seen. People love drama when it comes to coins, and the more ( within reason) the better.

          I am a bit cautious on this coin, because of the area that is Southeast of the mintmark, near the rim.
          IF that area is separating a little from the coin, its a sign that the coin may have been exposed to some high heat. It could have been in a dryer, on top of a water heater, a stove, grill or other high heat producing area. It probably was not on there for long....That area might be simply a stain, but I thought I would point that out.

          The coin in the link below is on the edge of having enough of the devices missing to be significant. It's not going to make anyone rich, but it may bring in enough revenue to buy a day to two worth of comfort food.

          The grease filled coins seem to be more common on Lincoln Cents and the Washington Quarters.
