Error Coins from the latest issue of ErrorScope, CONECA’S bimonthly journal

The latest issue of ErrorScope, CONECA’S (The Combined Organizations of Numismatic Error Collectors of America) bimonthly journal is now at the printers.  The September / October issue should be available to members at or around the first of September from the CONECA ErrorScope Online Members Only Area (assessable from the banner at the top of the CONECA homepage) and a hard copy should be showing up in mail boxes to all current members at about the same time.

  1. HI I AM FROM MAURITIUS I HAVE IN MY POSSESSION A COIN WITH TWO DIFFERENT DESIGN ON EACH SIDE. ON THE head side you face of our
    Honorable SIR SEEWOOSAGUR RAMGOOLAM AND OVER HIM YOU HAVE HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN ELIZABETH I AND ON THE TAIL SIDE YOU HAVE Twenty rupee(20)and over it you have five pence (5).I wanted to know what the specific name and what’s the value of the coin

  2. I have an interesting error that I’d like to get a general idea of its value. I’ve been an avid collector for more than 35 years and a life member of the ANA and various other coin clubs. I know very little specifics regarding error coins but own quite a few. Recently, I took position of the most interesting and dramatic error I’ve ever seen. It is a 1995 P Lincoln cent struck over a struck 1995 P Roosevelt dime (on a dime planchet). I wanted to ensure it was authentic so I sent it to ANACS for grading and authentication. It was encapsulated and labeled as a “1995 One Cent on a 1995 P 10 Cent Planchet and graded MS66 BR”. ANACS left out the detail that it is “…struck on a struck 10 cent planchet”. I’ve seen and read about many wrong planchet errors but never one stuck on a coin that was previously stuck as a completely different denomination…I’m certain they exist. I can supply pictures if necessary.

    All inputs will be appreciated.

  4. I have a 1988 Roosevelt dime that I was told by a coin dealer that it was a double die but there is no documentation about that particular coin. what can you tell me.

  5. I have a 1936 Jefferson nickel in 36 they made buffalo nickels not Jefferson nickels and I was wondering what I need to do to have it graded and preserved and if anyone could give me any information on it because through my research I haven’t seen another like it thank you for any help you could give me

    • The date may have been damaged or altered to make it appear to be a ’36. The design was not approved until later and not issued until 1938.

  6. I have a 1987-d Lincoln CENT GRADED MS65 RED..here’s the unusual part…Libety is spelled “liiiberty”…the Liib is much smaller then the “erty”…the three i’s are full i’s and can be seen perfectly when the coin is tilted left. It’s not at all like the cents “libierty”…the i’s are not touching each other…any idea what I have?????
