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

  • 1979 Washington type B

    Is it considered possible for the type b rev. on a 1979 cupro, phillie washington that has all the characteristics of a type b. The separation of the ES is prominant and all the leaves fit the positioning along the arrow shafts and at the left end he arrow tips. Moreover, the tail feathers appear to dislay feather definition.

    I compared the 79 with a 64 phillie tpe B rev; the difference in the gap between E & S is noticable but minor.

    Is ther some industry standard which says this is not possible?

    Thanks for viewing, Best regards

    The clad type Bs end with the 72-D. In 1973 a new reverse design was used. It was replaced in 76 and again in 77. The next change occured in 1980. So it is impossible for your 79 to be a type B.
    Thanks,
