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

  • 1993 "experimental" Lincoln Cent ?

    The collection I recently bought has a Lincoln Cent in a 2x2 mylar that reads "1993 P BU Experimental". So far the guy that put (or bought) most of the collection was right on. We are all human and can make mistakes, but I want to know if this has any chance at being an experimental. I truly doubt it, but its worth asking. The coin weighs 2.4 grams on a scale that only goes down to a tenth of a gram.

    I am not a big zinc collector, I tend to stay with copper cents. I dug around a little in my fav search engine, finding a few posts but nothing significant to confirm or deny.

    Here's the coin:

    Looks like a perfectly normal cent to me. No experimental planchets are known from this year or any adjacent year.
