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

    A question for the experts

    The majority of 1979 D pennies I come across are RPM's. All of them have a split serif at the bottom and look identicle and I can't believe they all came from the same die. I found so many that I no longer hold onto them. Just out of curiosity, is it possible or likely that the "D" punch itself was made with the split serif? I have no clue on how the punches were made.

      As 1 cent said, the punch that the mint used in that year was damaged and had a split lower serif.

      For RPMs in that year, I would suggest looking at Coppercoins. They have three listed, with two of them having photographs. CONECA has one listed and I am not sure what the Crawford or Wexler files have for rpms for this date.
