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

    Hard to tell from the pictures but maybe the obverse has been ground off years ago. It does show some wear too.

      If this coin is in a plastic flip, it should have been taken out to take photos. Then, there would have been less glare from lighting. I suggest not using flash and taming down the lighting some

      Additionally if the coin is in some sort of holder, if the camera is on autofocus it will do so on the plastic layer instead of the coin. That results in a photo that is fuzzy and practically unusable.
