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

    Was this from a BU roll of this date? It looks reprocessed; stripped of the original zinc plating and replated. Common for steel cents. Would be nice to see the entire coin.

        The reverse looks like there was some hard grease left on the die

                  Dave does that scope have any setting on it, if so either turn up the color, or saturation on it .. Heres a free program to help if your scope has no setting http://photoscape-free.com/?utm_sour...erm=photoscape

                    The Scope has only a light setting and it that's it, I need to get a better scope that can take better pics. If you look at my other posts you can see it changes the color of the coins on the close up pics. The coin is from a BU roll had BANK wrapping on it and was not open was a full roll of 43's

                        I have seen full rolls of Reprocessed Cents for sale before. The last roll I saw was at the 9 mile/Telegraph show about 7 years ago or so. Heck, maybe 10 years ago. I was looking for a nice roll of 1943-S BU and this roll did not fit the bill -- though he did have a nice AU/Unc roll cheap so I got that.

                          I've looked this coin over and over again and all I see are the characteristics I expect to see on a reprocessed steel cent. Where and when did you buy this roll? Are you sure it is "original"? Lots of folks have coin wrapping machines now and can wrap them up to look original. You see these so-called original rolls all over eBay all the time. You see them at shows too.

                          Can you photograph the wrapper and another coin or two from the roll.
