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

    In my opinion, It kinda looks like coin wrapper damage to me, the damage hit the 4 and then smears it going towards the rim. From the photo of the 4 only in date, it looks like it might have damage all the way around the rim ? The full date photo looks like the area below the complete date has damage.

        In my opinion, no it's not a bonefide error. If one looks quickly at the coin they might think it's a die crack, but this is smeared and there is damage to the 4.A die crack should be deeper and go into the rim. This is smeared over the top of the rim.

            What do you mean ?

            Its your coin, you can do just about anything you want with it. Keep it, wait for more opinions, spend it or whatever. As far as any sort of other possibilities of that coin might be, i can only offer you what I believe it is.

            Amy other questions ?

                No need to be sorry. Every one starts some where and knowledge is as key as asking questions and trying to understand the answers. Trust good references and you are on your way to a seasoned collector in no time.

                Happy hunting

                  as soon as I can get the pictures and upload it that seems to be my big issue here

                    Well, this site can hiccup at times. I have heard it from others that photos would not upload. Its either an issue on the forum or, the size of the photo is too big.

                    I do have a how-to post that might help. This one is saved to my subscribed list. If you ever need it, in a post click my name. Then look for the subscribed link. There are two posts there. This is one:

                    https://board.conecaonline.org/forum/general-forum/114694-how-to-take-photos-with-a-cellphone

                    It gives a basic idea of how to upload, sizes limits, number of files per reply, etc.

                    I recommend starting a new post for every coin. CONECA staff rules say it all, but one coin per post to cut down confusion is a biggie. Photos size have to be smaller than 2mb per photo and you can add up to 8 photos per initial post. If there is a need for more, reply to your post and add more.

                    Questions?
                    Happy hunting.
