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

    Tone on shield Cent

    Happy Monday
    The beautiful tone on this 2021 cent caught my eye. It is different than the other shield cents. Is there a specific reason for the different tone?

    Storage or environmental issues. It is a real pretty color though, but not anything worth much.

    I have seen some wild toning on Lincoln Cents still in government holders. From Hershey chocolate to shocking pink, and many colors in between. Sure, temperature may have something to do with it. Most of the Toners I have were pulled out of paper rolls, with the majority of the nicer, even tones coming out of Federal Reserve paper rolls or the String company generic paper rolls.

      Thank you Gary,
      I checked it out and bookmarked the page. I wish there was a way to check your answers when it tests you on whether it is MD or DD

    Thanks. Working on a several additional posts about error type coins, and then average prices seen on auction houses.

    I will add answers near the bottom of the post in the near future. I have a few more tests to add, just need to successfully take the photos.
