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

  • Rotated double strikes (possible hub doubling)

    Here are 2 more from my error collection, the 1963 is a double strike that has rotated a lot in between strikes, the 1938 could be the same but I am not certain, it could also be hub doubling. The whole design is doubled and not just the legends/date. Any help with that one would be appreciated.

    Anyway, enjoy.

      Thanks Stachowski, the '38 is really difficult to look at without your head starting to hurt

        I suspect it is a fake. Is it perfectly round?

            It looks like a fake to me.

              Could be. The obverse isn't doubled. Need to send it to the Royal Mint to have it double checked, should get it back in about 6 months
