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

  • 1955 1c Multiple Skull Fractures +

    Going through some flipped 55' cents and noticed this interesting little gem. There appears to be several break lines on Abe's head and another on his lower left coat. On the reverse, there is either a crack or cud on the "T" in CENTS. While this isn't the big DDO, it's still an intriguing find. Anyone out there seen one like this?

    Popularly known as "cracked skull" cents, these patterns of die cracks are extremely abundant among cents struck in the 1950s.

      Even as defined as this one is, I am almost sure it doesn't have a lot of value. I keep it as a educational piece and its a topic starter at the CONECA tables at shows.
